The Land Wants To Die
2018 / Installation
A ritual of fertility, the stimulation of an alchemic transformation through the encounter of body and objects. The seeds of the new are prepared in the transformation of what is dying. A female geography which makes this transformation possible.
This two-channel installation delves into the rituals of mourning and fertility.
Through the words of artist and poet Mirella Bentivoglio, grandmother of one of the artists, the piece explores the brutal violation of the earth and memory, and at the alchemic transformation of this death into new life.
