Matteo Melotto: Gora
Jul 11, 2026 | 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Ruoholahdenranta 3 a, 00180 Helsinki
During Forum Box summer break we have a pleasure to offer the space for GORA, a one-evening exhibition and performance project by Matteo Melotto, developed as the outcome of their artistic residency in Helsinki supported by Culture Moves Europe, the Goethe-Institut and Studio Rö.
The exhibition culminates with Gora, a site-specific durational performance and large-scale textile in-stallation conceived for Forum Box.
The performer kneels at the center of a sixteen-meter structure of torn black fabric, ropes, knots, and stretched membranes. The body, painted black and absorbed into the textile system, becomes both anchor and captive force.
The audience is invited into a condition of ritual silence, facing the suspended time of the work and the static presence of the artist as a body transformed into threshold and living architecture.
Matteo Melotto is a multimedia artist and fashion designer whose transdisciplinary practice unfolds as a layered process of identity regeneration and post-spiritual inquiry.
Drawing on performance, fashion design, artificial intelligence, generative projections, 3D modeling, and sound, they create immersive environments that interrogate both individual and collective trauma, translating their echoes into contemporary mytholo-gies charged with psychic, political, and communal tensions.
