La casa della narrativa
ATELIER POEM: Alice Cecchini & Roman Joliy
A chapel-like home can be seen among the summits. A haven, a shelter, but the closer you get, the sooner you realise it is not a traditional home: it is but a cut-out, a wooden, double-layered facade whose shapes dissolve by fragmenting in an incalculable number of possible windows, each of which has been opened or which can be opened. Our gaze falls through the window and enters the private sphere from outside, the public sphere. However, the pandemic turned the concept of a private home into a fragile idea and transformed it into an individual microcosm constantly yearning for a new condition and shape where everything is possible. It will never satisfy all the demands of a free individual but it also remains the only possible solution. Alice Cecchini and Roman Joliy use “la casa della narrativa” to showcase how the concept of “nest” and domestic refuge have dispersed. They ask visitors to reflect on existing conditions and on the concept of transformation as an opportunity.
Exhibit place Forcela de Furcia
Every three years, men from Val Badia's twelve villages walk in procession to the old Jeunn bishop's see, which is now a monastery, located above the small town of Chiusa, in Val di Isarch. The pilgrimage is a tradition going back over the centuries and leads the faithful from Val Badia on a three-day hike that crosses the valleys and mountain ridges. Some pilgrims arrive in the neighbouring valley, Funes, crossing the Forcela de Furcia at 2.293 m thorough the path of the Munt d’Adagn, which is a beautiful panoramic spot with green meadows in summer and white snow in winter.
