A photographic documentation of the exhibition DIPLOMACY, held on March 21, 2025, at the Embassy and Mission of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in Rome. Curated by Christian Taranto and organised by Tramandars, the exhibition featured works by artist Edoardo Aruta..
The series of images documents the arrangement and atmosphere of the installation across three distinct rooms, each centered around a specific work:
Elephant in the Room (India, 2019)
Video installation, 5 min, variable dimensions
Produced within the Guwahati Research Program (Microclima)
The Space of a Relationship (2017–2025)
Series of 11 sculptures in brass and bronze, variable dimensions
Gastrodiplomacy – Communication and Sub liminality about Food (2025)
Sculptural intervention, steel and wood, 25 × 2.5 cm
The photographs provide a clear visual record of the installation and its spatial context, intended for archiving and future reference.
DIPLOMACY reflects on the forms and languages of political and interpersonal communication, exploring themes of visibility, encounter, and hospitality. Through minimal yet symbolically charged gestures, the works reframe the environment of diplomacy as a site of cultural and emotional translation.
