Ephemeral Panic is the first institutional exhibition by Italian artist Ambra Castagnetti (Genoa, 1993), conceived especially for the Museo de Arte Moderno de Bogotá. The show brings together site-specific works that explore the mutability of identity, the transitional states of human experience, and the relationship between body, matter, and environment, combining sculpture, painting, installation, video, and performance.

Inspired by the radical theatrical theory of Alejandro Jodorowsky, the exhibition is conceived as a total work divided into three acts — ritual, icon, and metamorphosis — activated by a performance on opening night. Each phase constructs a narrative of ritual and utopian transformation, reexamining the body and its relics as territory for artistic exploration, addressing vulnerability, spirituality, and subjectivity. Born out of a two-month creative residency in Bogotá, the exhibition invites visitors to question social structures, gender, and identity, proposing a space for symbolic and collective transformation.
