Connecting
images of the war time with contemporary works of art, opposed and united by
the represented subject, the legacies of the First World War emerge,
enlightening the places that were most intense battlefields. The exhibition
shows how these territories have assimilated the tragic events of the War,
consciously or unconsciously: the landscape, its natural elements and material
objects (both organic and anthropized), have absorbed the grief. Burying and
incorporating remains and memories, the soil have became an authentic physical
body of the conflicts memory. The symbology of the natural elements is
developed by contemporary artists in videos and installations, in a kind of
prophetic way, not necessarily reassuring, decreeing the protagonism of the
soil’s organicity, which is evoked as an element of protection and survival,
but also of concealment and suffocation.
Artists: Ilisie Remus, Claudio Beorchia, Nathalie Vanheule, Jane Glynn, Gordon Belray, Victoria Lucas, Cosima Montavoci, Luca Terenzi.
