Formafantasma
Sia Moulding Tradition sia Colony hanno una forte connotazione politica e delineano uno scenario dove l’idea di identità culturale legata ai confini geografici nazionali viene mostrata nella sua complessità. Se Moulding Tradition citava l’invasione afro-araba del Mediterraneo nel X secolo, confrontandola con l’attuale flusso migratorio clandestino, Colony racconterà le tracce del colonialismo italiano in Libia, Eritrea e Somalia. Vecchie e nuove cartografie, dati storici e cronaca contemporanea, architetture moderniste: tutto sarà tessuto assieme nel tentativo di costruire nuovi pattern visivi e concettuali.

Both Moulding Tradition and Colony have a strong political connotation and outline a scenario where the idea of cultural identity linked to national geographical borders is displayed in all its complexity. While Moulding Tradition refers the Afro-Arabian invasion of the Mediterranean in the tenth century, comparing it with the present movements of immigration, Colony will narrate the traces of Italian colonialism in Libya, Eritrea and Somalia. Old and new maps, historic dates and contemporary news, modernist architecture: everything will be woven together in the attempt to construct new visual and conceptual patterns.
