The collective was founded in 2009 from the meeting of Fabio Di Salvo and Bernardo Vercelli, united by an artistic vision that explores the balance between nature and technology, between the rigor of order and the unpredictability of chance. Their work unfolds along the fine line between the organic and the artificial, generating immersive installations and performances in which sound, light, and movement become central elements of a visual and sensory narrative. With a poetic and experimental approach, Quiet Ensemble draws attention to what usually escapes sight and hearing: the rustling of leaves, the flutter of an insect’s wings, the silent rhythm that animates ecosystems. Their works engage in dialogue with the environment, revealing the hidden beauty of everyday microevents and transforming the ordinary into an unexpected and captivating perceptual experience.
Fragile: Sixteen Atlases of Fracture is a site-specific exhibition by the collective Quiet Ensemble, curated by Serena Tabacchi and Vincenzo Napolano.
Created in collaboration with Forma Edizioni and with the extraordinary participation of the European Gravitational Observatory (EGO), the exhibition is a journey through technology, sound, and perception. Fragile is an immersive exploration of fracture as a creative moment, where the invisible takes shape.
Visitors enter a tunnel, traverse matter and fragility, and find themselves suspended between art and science. Rifugio Digitale and EGO, both born to explore what cannot be seen, share the same mission:
to transform emptiness into… vision, and silence into frequency.
