The work is part of a series of thesis and other critical dissertations investigating the Human-Nature relationship through aesthetic-metaphorical approach and anexact knowledge, aimed at highlighting the Post-Environmental condition of multi-agential entanglement of the contemporary disaster.
Specifically, Silenzio Bianco includes a video-photographic exploration project conducted in a disused marble quarry and a propositional part also aimed at predisposing the subjective experience rather than the realization of user-serving artifacts or the artificial ‘remediation’ of the site tampered with by mining activities. The quarry is near Mount Altissimo in the Apuan Alps where Michelangelo is said to have used to source his sculptures. The project proposes the exploration of an experiential path that winds through the remains of the quarry sites and stops on existing planes where the debris recomposes itself into monumental structures.
