Project

Extent and medium:

12 digital files (56 MB)
4 photographs
1 drawing

Scope and content:
The project series documents the installation "Brano di Città" presented at the Galleria Enrico Fornello, in Prato, in 2009. The installation consists of covering the walls and the floor of an entire gallery space with branches and dry leaves. "The material is predominant here, and “becomes” architecture. It is a piece of city, or a ghost of it, where nature turns into architecture, or a work of architecture structures itself, describes itself with natural materials." [1]

The project series contains drawings and photographs of the installation.
