The Tower
Nina Staehli
05.11.25 28.11.25
As part of the celebrations for the 20th anniversary of Proyecto’ace, Swiss artist Nina Staehli presented her installation The Tower at the Sala Políglota, a work that intertwines sculpture, graphics, video, and space in a dialogue between monumentality and fragility, identity and transience.
In this exhibition, Staehli displayed her universe of the “Big Heads,” hybrid figures that oscillate between the human, the animal, and the sculptural, to reflect on transformation, memory, and becoming.
Three video installations (one on a projector and two on an LED screen) were integrated into the space along with a series of photolithography and Fine Arts digital prints.
The visual and acoustic heartbeat of the earth, the dancing ceramic heads, and the unstable towers rising in precarious balance form a landscape that is both emotional and physical. In the tension between the stable and the crumbling, Staehli proposes a meditation on the act of building—and rebuilding—over time.
