“Cosmogonies of Water” is a solo exhibition by Claudia Müller Montes presented at Villa d’Este in Tivoli, Italy, and curated by Alberto Samonà, Davide Bertolini, and Sara Tarissi de Jacobis. The exhibition is part of MuseoNatura, a program that brings together cultural heritage, nature, artistic practices, and the local landscape.
Through three installations—Frontera Líquida, Acqua Lattea, and Espirales de Agua—displayed in various historic spaces at Villa d’Este, the exhibition explores water as a dynamic and sensitive entity, linking its material, territorial, and cosmic dimensions. Video, sculpture, mirrors, and moving water systems create a journey centered on flow, boundaries, and the transformations between bodies of water and landscapes.
