54th International Art Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia - Italy Pavilion
Silence.
308 white bodies that merge with the ground in a random order, as if nothing had a logical meaning.
All bodies were born from a single array as we all were born from Mother Earth.
I chose a neutral color, white, symbolizing a collective identity rather than individual.
I chose paper because it is organic, like the human body it goes back to the earth that saw its birth.
The silence after the earthquake of L'Aquila.
