Golden Earth is an itinerant installation project.
The golden foil on the rock recalls the ancient Kitsugi
technique, the Japanese art of scars that make broken objects
even more precious, and the concept of resilience. It also
emphasizes Earth’s sacral essence and its forgotten
vulnerability. Joining fragments and giving them a new aspect
thanks to the embellished scars, gives the opportunity to tell a
story - different every time - through the golden breaks.
The work insists on threshold and limit values, it highlights
the void created by Earth’s traumatic events.
Broken landscapes, unrepairable in their geographies, are the
focus of the study that investigates system’s ability to respond
to the environmental crisis: ecological resilience seems to be
contrary to socio-economic resilience.
The narrative of Earth in recent decades has emphasized biosphere’s
vulnerability and highlighted the urgent need to seek a holistic and
systemic vision in which both humanity and nature can coexist.
Golden Earth is the emancipation of Earth spirit’s feelings.
Gold grabs the rock and testifies the inability of recreate and bring back
to the original state what is now broken.
Still, landscapes’ beauty gives hope for a change towards humanity that
will take care of what remains on our planet, of its irregular and
unrepeatable patterns.sed.
