The exhibition “Umano/Non Umano” by Lev Nikitin took place on October 28, 2023, at Casa col Forno. This solo exhibition and performance explored themes of humanity, transformation, and the boundaries between human and non-human elements. Nikitin’s work often addresses identity, social constructs, and the philosophical question of what it means to be human, particularly in a world increasingly shaped by technology.

The title “Umano/Non Umano” plays with these dualities, inviting viewers to reflect on how the concept of humanity is questioned or transformed in contemporary society. The installation incorporated multimedia elements, including video, sculpture, and interactive components, creating an immersive experience.

Lev Nikitin, originally from Kazakhstan and now active in various European cities, is known for his multidisciplinary approach, blending performance, visual art, and activism. His works often engage with social and political issues in an avant-garde and provocative manner
