“Exculpatio”是nomad.设计工作室和Global R&D Cemex材料公司共同创造的静默式展示和雕塑空间，它同时展示于两个地点：意大利威尼斯的玛丽娜来萨花园，以及Global R&D Cemex位于瑞士比尔的总部。该项目同时也是欧洲文化中心在2022年威尼斯双年展期间策划的《个人结构》展览的一部分。

Exculpatio by nomad. + Global R&D Cemex is a silent demonstration and a sculptural space simultaneously hosted at Giardini della Marinaressa in Venice, Italy and Global R&D Cemex Headquarters in Biel-Bienne, Switzerland. It is part of the Exhibition “PERSONAL STRUCTURES” curated by the European Cultural Centre during the Venice Biennale 2022.

“Exculpatio”是一场长期对话的具体化呈现，它以混凝土为创意性的媒介，探索了以可持续性为主题的言论。它在对话中展现的全能性持续地吸引着人们对其多变的物理性质的关注。自2019年以来，Exculpatio经历了多次变形并以不同方式融入周围环境。在瑞士，它呈现为两个矗立在草地上的矩形混凝土单体，并在中间留出一道空隙。每个混凝土块的表面都带有树干化石的印记，它们如同80个像素，共同堆砌成了一道独特的“纪念墙”。在意大利，Exculpatio的像素块以不断变化的方式即兴组合，邀请公众积极参与开放性的对话并付诸行动。

This project is the materialization of a long conversation exploring the speech surrounding sustainability through concrete as a creative counterpart. Its versatility in the dialogue has maintained the attention on the tectonics of the process contributing to its chameleonic physicality. After morphing and adapting to its environment since 2019, Exculpatio stands in Switzerland as two rectangular monoliths embracing the negative of nature. This void is created by the imprint of a tree trunk fossilized within two upright monumental concrete blocks fractured into eighty pixels. In Italy, Exculpatio presents its pixels in an ever-changing impromptu arrangement, which symbolically opens the conversation to the public and invites them to take action.

Exculpatio在过去的三年中不断发展。从2019年诞生之际，该项目便强调人们需要深刻理解如下事实：自然是地球的操作系统，它并非一个空间，你既不能身处其中，也不能从中脱离。这种全球性的认知对于履行真正可持续的生活方式而言至关重要。可持续是一个危险的词汇，因为它隐含着一种弥补的意味，为我们开脱罪责，仿佛一切如常。

2022年3月，Exculpatio迎来了一次新的迭代。此次它将目光投向适应性，并借助表演来阐释该装置作为展示和雕塑空间的双重含义，以及它在意大利和瑞士的“二重性”的存在方式。

Exculpatio has come to life over the past three years. At the initiation of the project’s journey in 2019, it empathized the need for a profound understanding of nature as the operating system of the planet: nature is not a space, so you can neither be in, nor out of it. This global realization is crucial in order to propose a truly sustainable lifestyle. Sustainable is an extremely perilous word as it has an implicit redeeming character that exonerates us and allows us to continue business as usual.

In March 2022, another opportunity for iteration arrived. In a tribute to adaptation, Exculpatio embraced change and focused on a performance to articulate the installation’s dual essence as a demonstration and a sculptural space, as well as, its bilocation in Italy and Switzerland.

“80个像素”的表演是一场无声的集体表现，其目的是让人们意识到自身在应对气候变化时缺乏实质性的行动。在今年4月14日至17日，大众表演者携带者这些由超轻混凝土构成的“像素块”在威尼斯进行了一场具有诗性的朝圣之旅。当这些像素被人们以即兴方式排列的时候，它们远在瑞士的“分身”则正在被堆砌成一组高达3米的长方形巨石。

The 80 Pixels’ Performance has been a silent collective manifestation to bring awareness about the lack of substantial action against climate change: a crowdsourced transportation where individuals carried ultralight concrete pixels in a poetic pilgrimage across Venice from April 14 to April 17. As the pilgrims were simultaneously creating the first impromptu pixel arrangement in Venice, the pixels were being virtually assembled into two rectangular monoliths three meters high in Switzerland.
