Mexican artist Frieda Toranzo Jaeger (1988) presents Visions at the Sandra and Giancarlo Bonollo Foundation for Contemporary Art in Thiene, a collection of works representative of her research on the influence of religious models and ideological systems on contemporary life.

The first two rooms of the Foundation host a series of large three-dimensional paintings by Frieda Toranzo Jaeger, shaped like portable altarpieces—objects of Catholic devotion here stripped of their original function and transformed into devices of re-imagination. The artist directly engages with the chapel of the former Chiesa delle Dimesse as an architecture of power that for centuries helped uphold a specific worldview.

Explains Elisa Carollo, curator: «Drawing on visions of the world in which genders, animals, tools, sexuality, kinship, plants, sound, and climate coexist within a continuous network of relationships, her works take the form of counter-cosmologies: erotic, mechanical, and esoteric imaginaries that reject transcendence in favor of immanence, envisioning fluid interdependencies between biology and machinery, spirit and matter».
