For the ‘Campigna Prize’, I traced the Italian word ‘scocciatori’ —roughly –‘nuisances‘— onto a glass window using masking tape.
During installation, I incorporated additional elements found on site into the spatial composition. In dialogue with a sculpture by Mattia Moreni, the intervention sought to evoke the cultural responsibility of the inhabitants of Santa Sofia, encouraging active participation in local cultural life and the preservation of historical memory.
