From September 2016 – March 2017, Toderi's video
From November 4, 2016, to March 29, 2017, and April 2 – July 2, 2017, Toderi featured alongside Orhan Pamuk in Words and Stars (2013–2016), a project that began in 2013 when Pamuk invited Toderi, whose work he admired, to design a work for the Museum of Innocence in Istanbul. Words and Stars opened at the Palazzo Madama, Piazza Castello, Turin on November 4, 2016,[26] and on April 2, 2017, at the MART (Museo di Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Trento e Rovereto).[27] Pamuk and Toderi's collaborative project explores "the inclination of man to explore space and innate vocation to question the stars" and "takes shape in a trilogy divided into a monologue, dialogue and conversation on the stars: three large installations immersive multi-screen consisting of eight video projections, which combine images and text. The vocation cosmological inherent to the project thus finds expression in a unique visual and literary body." The show was curated by Gianfranco Maraniello.[28] Words and Stars was also shown at Infini-to, the Planetarium of Turin (Infini.to – Planetario di Torino, Museo dell'Astronomia e dello Spazio) by invitation. For two days, from November 5–6, 2016, Toderi and Pamuk's work—specially created to be compatible with the planetarium dome—was projected at the planetarium.[29]
