GALLERIA FALSA BRAGA
Livorno 1 città
By Martino Chiti
“Until every form has found its city, new cities will continue to be born.
Where forms exhaust their variations and fall apart, the end of cities begins.”
Italo Calvino “The Invisible Cities”
Contemporary Livorno through two installations that investigate different social contexts
1-The world seen through the eyes of children. A gaze devoid of constructions, spontaneous. The project is part of the network agreement “The school walks” created by the Antonio Benci school club. The creation of a laboratory for photographic memory in order to promote social inclusion and a different way of understanding teaching and education.
2-Livorno Diapora: a phantasmagoria of images and sounds shaped by the places, colors, food, music, traditions brought by the diaspora. Recognizing, in distinct cultures, a new form in which the territory is enriched with unknown lives and the unknown takes over a new territory without losing contact with the land of origin.
