silent green & the Miller-Zillmer Foundation present
Founded in 2019, the Miller-Zillmer Foundation initiates and supports international projects at the intersection of art, society and education. Through acoustic, visual and audiovisual formats, it brings together artists, cultural practitioners and those engaged in social causes. At its heart lies the integration of artistic practice with socio-cultural needs, alongside a focus on education and cultural exchange. Shaped by Daniel Miller’s lifelong expertise in music and Diáne Zillmer’s experience in the arts and education, the foundation creates platforms for creative work, learning and social dialogue.

Islands of Time by Niccolò Masini
Developed through a collaboration between the Miller-Zillmer Foundation and silent green, Islands of Time by Niccolò Masini comprises an interconnected body of work created as part of the Miller-Zillmer Foundation’s Vision into the Future program (2019–2022). Situated between territories, communities, and perspectives, Islands of Time explores the relationship between the formation of intangible senses of belonging and the construction of geographic identity. Seeking to move beyond linear notions of time, the exhibition approaches themes of memory and movement by understanding past, present, and future as deeply intertwined within a global geopolitical context.
Shifting between Western Sahara, the Italian-French border region of Ventimiglia/Menton, Argentina, and the Aeolian Archipelago, the exhibited works emerge through the interplay of different modes of expression. In doing so, they raise questions about individual and collective responses to the complex realities of various forms of geographic belonging. In this sense, Islands of Time proposes spatial inquiries and analytical discourses that extend beyond territorial references alone, tracing the shifting boundaries that consolidate states of “imagined” deterritorialization through different forms of written and oral knowledge.
