SCECCU - REQUIEM FOR A DONKEY (2024)
(donkey skull, osidian from the island of Pantelleria)
Sceccu was the name for donkeys from the Italian island of Pantelleria , an endemic breed that was legendary for its endurance and strength. These donkeys gradually disappeared in modern times, and after the last of them drowned when it was loaded onto a ship they disappeared from the earth.
The work is part of the artistic research and exhibition project "Knocking on heaven's door" (2024/25) carried out on the volcanic Italian island of Pantelleria.
