Installation views and performance documentation, Ottaviano 2025

Corte Vico II San Michele installation event that transforms a historic courtyard in Ottaviano (NA) into a living pavilion of contemporary art exploring themes related to life in Vesuvius’s red zone, this year specifically the mountain (the Somma–Vesuvius complex). For the 2025 edition, I photographed the exhibition setup, site-specific installations, and the main sound performance by Mario Gabola on May 10, 2025. My work encompasses installation views, spatial interventions, technical setups, and audience interaction, with a focus on both natural and artificial light conditions.
