The awaking of midnight's whispers is a tale set in the Alps, in the province of Trento, north Italy. According to a folk tale from the early 20th century, sheaves are the embodiment of the ancestors of the peasant population. They wake up at night, transfiguring themselves into human beings, returning to populate their dark and immense meadows. This is what was narrated in the Hay’s Baths establishment in Garniga, on Mount Bondone (Trento, Italy), where hay was used by folk medicine for therapeutic purposes. Thanks to the re-interpretation of this story, the past meets the contemporary. The video was taken by the artist herself, who, using a cell phone, filmed herself during a nighttime performance on the meadows of the Viote, on Mount Bondone, once one of the most famous locations for haymaking.
