The projects of Gian Maria Tosatti (Rome, 1980) are characterized by a trans-disciplinary aspect that questions the possible connections between the presence of the object, the space-time dimension in which it is inserted and the viewer.

The analysis of Antichrist imagery in Anglo-French Apocalypse manuscripts from the thirteenth to the fourteenth century shows the power of visual exegesis in medieval apocalyptic tradition. Based on Berengaudus’ commentary, such imagery presents Antichrist either as a beast or as a human figure, revealing how the medieval world envisioned the final opponent of Christ.
Starting from Claire Bishop’s research, expressed in Radical Museology, this text aims to analyze the curatorial approaches pursued by the directors of the Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven), the Reina Sofia (Madrid) and the MSUM (Ljubljana).
