Particularly interesting is the Dutch proposal, entitled How we met?, which promotes new ways of understanding our planet as a shared space for plants, microbes, humans and other animals. The vision proposed by the exhibition is extended with a section dedicated to international participation, 23 installations conceived as insights into specific issues that can be assimilated into the macro-topic of the unknown.

In short, Unknown Unknowns is an exhibition made to open the door to complexities and make us feel happily ignorant. The didactic apparatus is clear and concise and allows visitors to look at hyper-specialised worlds without losing their curiosity. The layout designed by the Space Caviar studio, which used 3D printing technology to create all the media, is appropriate. Stimulating juxtapositions between works of art and scientific findings, and the right balance between reality and imagination. In the previous edition, Broken Nature, the projects on show were far too many and too compressed. Walking through the curved path of the exhibition curated by Vaudo is stimulating and enjoyable, we find the right density of works on display. Unknown Unknowns activates interdisciplinary contaminations and presents more than one hundred works, projects and installations by international artists, researchers, architects and designers who confront themselves – more or less explicitly – with the unknown," the astrophysicist continues. "The unknown is first and foremost a question of how one looks at things. An Introduction to Mysteries, exhibition view Image: Courtesy of 23rd Triennale Milano International Exhibition, 2022. Vaudo was asked by the President of Triennale Milano, architect Stefano Boeri, to curate the main exhibition of the 23 rd International Exhibition.

We are aware that the unknown brings with it a series of stereotypes and polarisations – black/white, light/dark, full/empty, science/art – which we instead aim to overcome by creating a balance of different gazes and activating unusual stimuli and new reflections," says Ersilia Vaudo, astrophysicist and Chief Diversity Officer at the European Space Agency. “Presenting the unknown is an opportunity to unleash a creativity that is multidisciplinary and poised between different timeframes. We must also get used to the fact that our perceptive and analytical capacities are very limited and that there are realities that we do not even realise can exist: the Unknown Unknowns.
