“Land ho!†sets as its main goal making people reflect on the everyday relationship between humans and the Earth element ...
The visitor is invited, by coming into physical contact with the element itself, to discover the various layers of a mosaic depicting the fundamental points of this relationship: the dichotomy between the natural and the artificial, the indiscriminate exploitation of earth resources, soil pollution, earth meant as a road, earth as a living-space. Each one of these numberless layers becomes a provider of different images and meanings.
“Land ho!†was the cry of salvation uttered by lookouts on board at the sight of land. In the ocean of modernity, the installation “Land ho!†intends to be a call to open our eyes and look beyond the monotony of our everyday acts, paying attention to what is too often thought of as superfluous surrounding matter. In particular, during this “reconnaissance†of the surface on which we trample every day, we are bound, for the umpteenth time, to become aware of a man-nature relationship that too often degenerates into the overpowering.
