Scope and Content

The project series documents "Materiali Da Construzione" a photo montage of what Pettena considered construction material (stones, twigs, straw, leaves and sand) and presented in the form of a catalogue. "What nature offers to an often unwitting observation, or to an appreciation of a solely aesthetic type, is here picked out, considered and classified as possible construction material." [1]

The project series contains a photo montage of samples of each of the construction materials and photographs of various types of materials for selection.
