The Unmoving Variable
The strange relationship between Inaction and Change

Rossocinabro is pleased to announce the simultaneous opening in Rome and Florence of the exhibition The Unmoving Variable, held on the occasion of the XXI Contemporary Art Day promoted by AMACI. Opening to the public this October, the exhibition invites a reflection on the paradox that links our inertia to the unstoppable transformations of the world—the strange relationship between Inaction and Change.

Inaction and Change feature a variety of works by international artists who use both traditional and contemporary techniques to create art, highlighting the unique value of human ingenuity and creativity.
More than a simple critique of apathy, this exhibition is an investigation into how our passivity actively influences the future. The works reveal that inertia is never an empty space but a force that shapes events, sometimes accelerating them in unpredictable directions and at other times slowing them down. Art becomes a mirror of this dynamic: a slowly corroding sculpture, a photographic series documenting the decay of abandoned places, a sound installation amplifying the noise of silence, or a photograph representing inaction as one of the many threats inherent in humanity.
The exhibition invites us to reflect on a fundamental question: if the world changes "despite everything," what is our role? Are we passive observers or unconscious participants?

Each artwork is a personal journey that transcends the mere visual result—a tangible emotion that reflects experiences, relationships, and thoughts translated into form. "Inaction and Change" is a reminder not to forget art's unique power to move and inspire us, and an invitation to reflect on our role in a world that changes regardless of our actions. In Florence, a dedicated room will feature works by the artist Sari Fishman. The full list of participating artists is available on the Rossocinabro website.
