Toast Project Space is pleased to announce the opening of its new season in its original space, the former porter’s booth in the Manifattura Tabacchi complex in Florence. The season will kick off with the installation of INFLUENCER SARCOPHAGUS by Amitai Romm.

Amitai Romm’s work addresses the organization of matter, often transforming spaces into environments where materials are sorted, sifted, and redistributed. His practice engages with commercial and sensory distribution methods—such as shipping containers, packing materials, and signals dispersed by satellites—to explore how we define, separate, and manipulate objects and information.
INFLUENCER SARCOPHAGUS aligns with Toast Project by embracing the mystery and potential of emerging matter, creating an intervention that resonates deeply with the project’s spirit. Romm’s work continually questions the structures that dictate our environment, probing the boundaries of how we distinguish one thing from another and what is at stake in these distinctions. This attitude reflects Toast commitment to presenting contemporary art in unconventional situations fostering encounter between the artworks, the space and the public.
