The Fondazione Made in Cloister and nonlineare - independent curatorial initiative present "The white horse, pregnant" by Patricia Domínguez.


“The white horse, pregnant” is Domínguez's first showcase in Italy, featuring works spanning multiple years. Six video pieces serve as cybernetic altars within shrines devoted to Water, Earth, Animals, Plants, and the Invisible - creating the artist's compendium of myths, motifs, and rituals that emerge from planetary, spiritual and interspecies encounters between radically different cosmologies, developed in collaboration with Neapolitan artisans.


The exhibition completes the first year of the REBIRTH biennial program exploring transformation, renewal, and multi-species resistance against the backdrop of contemporary polycrises.

What emerges when ancestral knowledge encounters the extractive logic of late capitalism? When ancient cosmologies intersect with corporate machinery, do we witness a mere collision, or does something altogether new gestate in the spaces between worlds? The pregnant pause, introduced by these questions, summons an interstitial, symbiogenic realm that refuses the neat categories of tradition and modernity, nature and technology, sacred and profane.


Patricia Domínguez’s cybernetic altars conjure an ecosystem where serpents commune with drones, where pre-Columbian artifacts cohabitate with corporate imagery in acts of unlikely, unholy kinship. These shrines to Water, Earth, Animals, Plants, and the Invisible do not merely offer an inventory of worlds but create conditions for their mutual transformation. Drawing on extensive ethnobotanical research, Domínguez activates what she describes as strategic withdrawal from digital entrapment in favor of interspecies alliance, in order to access planetary memory and its ancient, generative wisdom.
