IUAV - FIFTEEN THOUSAND STEPS / 2026
Participatory art and research project with IUAV University of Venice. Drawing on Vitaliano Trevisan's I Quindicimila Passi, students walked a section of Strada Marosticana, documenting overlooked details, infrastructures and social rhythms shaping the urban periphery. Handmade pigments were produced from soil, ash and turmeric. The final installation worked like a visual map of the journey, translating individual observations into a shared representation of place.
