The connection isn’t just a WORK OF ART.
It’s an invitation to remember WHO WE ARE.

The Knot

At the heart lies an ancestral form that, far from belonging to the past, continues to act as a living architecture of meaning: the knot. Before it became a religious symbol, the knot was a gesture — a simple movement that traverses human history as an act of linkage and memory.

Andean quipus stored knowledge in braided cords. In shamanic rituals, the knot sealed intentions. In navigation, it set the course. In weaving, it revealed the secret code of the world. To tie was a sacred act — a way to give shape to the invisible.

We reclaim this archetypal gesture not only as symbol, but as epistemology: the knot as a pre-alphabetic language, a topology of the soul, an affective resistance to contemporary fragmentation — a way of knowing without saying.

The Four Axes

NORTH

The Axis - The Living Stone

Orientation, verticality, anchoring. Where symbol becomes matter and faith becomes structure. The chapel is the axis between the heights and the depths — a reminder that every search requires a center.

SOUTH

Transit - The One and the Many

A journey inward. Here, the soul does not move in a straight line — it resonates. Light orients, space responds, the body perceives. The immersive exhibition places the visitor at the center of a path measured not in steps, but in vibrations.

EAST

The Corpus of Wisdom - Where the Word is Born

Like the sunrise, the book represents a beginning — a cartography tracing the folds of the soul, scattering a spiritual seed in word, image, and silence. Each page is a dialogue between the human and the divine.

WEST

Narrated Existence - Living Memory

Transformation of lived experience into narrative. The film steps away from biography to build a contemporary storyline, where Carlo’s spiritual intuitions resonate within today’s context. Image becomes resonance; cinema, a poetic mirror.

The Chapel

In the history of sacred art, chapels and cathedrals were more than buildings: they were compasses for the community. In them, stone became memory, light became catechesis, and ritual was transformed into social fabric. The chapel always safeguarded the intimacy of the fragile; the cathedral, the city’s openness to mystery.

In Assisi, where Carlo Acutis rests, the Sanctuary of the Spogliazione embodies this double function: rootedness and openness. More than a new temple, it is a living sign: the space where the human takes root in the divine, and where Carlo continues to guide with the humility of one who knew how to turn the everyday into eternity.

Cartography of the Soul

An immersive experience in homage to Carlo Acutis, where art, technology, and spirituality intertwine. The exhibition unfolds as a cartography of the soul through twelve moments of his life as a ritual sequence, inviting inner silence and an intimate connection with the sacred. With a universal and accessible approach, it embraces diverse forms of faith and sensitivity.

Rooted in the ancestral tradition of art as a bridge between the divine and the human, it renews this legacy today through technology as a means to approach the mystery and give meaning to existence.

THE LIVING MEMORY

The Film follows the story of Carlo, a teenager passionate about technology and faith, who creates a digital platform to share stories of miracles and hope. When his life is cut short by illness, what seems like the end becomes the beginning of a spiritual ripple effect. Across different countries and cultures, people begin to experience mysterious events tied to Carlo’s legacy—transforming their lives in unexpected ways.

Told in a choral style, the film portrays the powerful interconnection between characters of different backgrounds, nationalities, and beliefs. Through Carlo—either in life or beyond— each of them finds healing, meaning, and renewed purpose. His journey from an ordinary teen to a symbol of modern sanctity reveals the enduring power of love and spiritual connection that transcends time, space, and earthly boundaries.

TOUCH'S MEMORY

The Book is conceived as a journey through the senses. Within it, braille is integrated not only as an inclusive gesture, but also as a metaphor for knowledge. In its pages, dwells silence, interweaving past and future into a single fabric that teaches us how to inhabit the world. Each chapter opens like a sky: a knot of light transformed into memory, a bridge inviting us to look upward… and to contemplate inward.

Here, touch emerges as a pre-alphabetic knowledge, the root of all memory, and augmented reality prolongs it in a continuous gesture, expanding it as a metaphor of the spiritual and evoking the symbolic return to the origin.
