On the occasion of the 21st edition of the Giornata del Contemporaneo promoted by AMACI, the Studio Vanna Casati in Bergamo presents L’anagramma, a solo exhibition by Michele Savino, entirely dedicated to his ongoing research on the practice of anagram.

The venue becomes more than an exhibition space: the Studio turns into a critical device, a workshop of thought and language, where words and images are continuously deconstructed and recomposed before the viewer’s eyes. Given the strong public response, the exhibition has been extended for one additional week.
For Savino, the anagram as form of thought is a living organism — “a challenge between mind and word.” The mind pushes while the word resists, only to reorganize itself, altering the order of its letters without losing its essence. This process, both rigorous and playful, functions as a kind of psychoanalysis of language, revealing buried meanings and unexpected semantic connections. Every word, as the artist describes, is “a small army”: the mind rearranges its formation over and over, generating new constellations of sense. The result is a verbo-visual theater, where order bends without breaking and the surface of language opens toward depth.
At Studio Vanna Casati, this conceptual tension becomes visible. The exhibition highlights the laboratory dimension of Savino’s work: texts, notes, and visual compositions enact the friction between rule and invention, demonstrating how the anagram “forms, deforms, and transforms” without betraying the inner structure of language. The show invites viewers to slow down and look closely — to enter the combinatorial labyrinth and find the hidden key that unlocks the safe of words.
