marea collage
2020
Marea Collage is a project arising from the observation of the Adriatic shore in Fano, Italy. It is a collection of objects assembled from fragments of semi-finished slabs (industrial waste) that have been dumped into the river and carried by the tide to the Adriatic shore. The regular thickness of the granite slabs reveals their industrial origin, while the eroded edges and rough texture testify to the agency of the sea. How long have these debris been adrift? Where are they coming from? Extracted and discarded by humans, then reshaped by the sea, the debris are carefully collected, cleaned, and assembled through skilled artisan hands, revealing the entanglements of human and non-human fluxes shaping our world.
