Based on these considerations, the project by Patrizia Pfenninger "Pompei Today - The end of Capitalism" is born. Hypothesis of a future archeology where the simulacra of consumption are transformed into finds, products stripped of their appeal and reduced to objects in their essence (mindful of "a rose is a rose is a rose"), testimony to a past (our present) marked by economic and market logic with questionable and controversial effects. Without entering into an explicit criticism of the system of values of the contemporary world, the exhibition invites the viewer to reflect, to dwell on its relationship with the material goods with which it interacts daily and on the choices that it is so frequently called to put into practice. Quoting the artist "we are our supermarket (of choices) / we are our own meat / we are our own butcher". Pompei today is therefore the exhibition of an imaginary and imagined exhibition that has not yet taken place, a sort of document / testimony of contemporary life and of the search (perhaps vain) of the human being for a happiness without expiration date.
