Ancient sculptures and industrial archaeology

Paolo Grassi takes us on a visual journey through time and space with his photographs of sculptures exhibited at the Centrale Montemartini in Rome. The ancient Roman marble sculptures, immortalized in his images, stand majestic in front of the boilers and control instruments of the decommissioned power plant. This dialogue between art and technology, between ancient and modern, offers a fascinating glimpse into humanity's ability to leave an indelible mark on history and the landscape. Grassi captures the essence of this encounter between past and present, giving us a penetrating insight into how our roots intertwine with industrial progress.
