Paris, France, 1977
An archaeological museum of the future showing objects
of today
When the Centre Pompidou was inaugurated, Valéry Giscard d’
Estaing refused to visit this exhibition because it was a crude presentation
of objects of our century to the people of the year 3000: what’s
in our handbags, old shoes, pills and various items telling the extended
story of the human body in their own way.
A sense of humour, the pathetic and the unexpected to tell an original,
ironical tale of today’s society.
Amidst the rusty metal walls that formed the mainframe of the exhibition,
representing the leftovers of a contemporary Trojan Horse, Giuseppe Sinopoli
conducted the creation of a contemporary symphony on the urban world.
