Composed of invented archaeological finds, found objects and other folkloric decorations, the work was installed in the historic center of Amendolara, where local artists had already tried to revive the streets with painterly and sculptural interventions. Conceived as a living archaeology, the project is inspired by the idea that archaeological finds are pearls nourishing “official narratives”. The work focuses instead on the magic and ineffable: each pearl is a device to project a multiplicity of stories. It is no coincidence that the giants in Greek mythology represent primordial chaos, opposed to the order of the gods. The feminine declination pays homage to those particular forms of the material culture of Southern Italy where women have produced the signs of a concretely lived spiritual conception, from amulets to other typical objects of superstition.
