The word "transfiguration" was first translated into English from the Bible, describing the transformation of Jesus on a mountain. Eventually, the word took on the meaning of change referencing more generally transformation, metamorphosis, and so on. In the 1980s. American philosopher and art theorist Arthur Danto used this word in the title of his art theory book, The Transfiguration of the Commonplace (1984). Thereafter, this word from classical art history turned into a contemporary concept, a term that embodies different connotations of the traditional and contemporary. Its root includes "form," "image," perfectly fitted to the title of this biennale, "Il Palazzo Enciclopedico / The Encyclopedic Palace," promoting the spirit of "the dream of the universal, all-embracing image of the human being".
