LA PIOGGIA NEL POZZO (THE RAIN IN THE WELL)

An installation for "BAS - BOSCO ARTE STENICO", a land art international annual festival in Italy. Reflection concerns water as a vital element. Growth rings of a tree represent a lifetime and before their growth has been cut off it has been influenced by the amount of rain fallen in the woods. They tell, in some ways, rain stories (rain poetry in the woods) and they themselves refer to concentric waves on the water's hair. We have to consider the vital importance of trees in the life cycle of the element necessary to life. The WATER well is also an ancient and emblematic element of survival, in this case with a decontextualized reference: instead of being the essence of an inhabited center is placed in the middle of a forest, realizing a double referring to a fairy tale: the forest and the well are both united by mystery and desire, attraction and repulsion. http://www.boscoartestenico.eu Read more
