As part of this project, I focused on installation views and documentation, ensuring that the ephemeral nature of site-specific interventions is preserved as part of a structured archive of artistic gestures. This aligns with my ongoing exploration of open-source visual strategies in contemporary art, creating a visual memory that extends beyond the duration of the exhibition.
Through a visual and performative narrative, Sotto il naso explores the deep interconnection between the Vesuvian landscape, collective memory, and environmental degradation—what we see every day but often choose to ignore.
