1969 · THEATRE
Visca and Burri
Alberto Burri’s stage designs for Ignazio Silone’s L’avventura di un povero cristiano. Realised by Sandro Visca, they bring the expressive force of material into the theatre.
1975 · FILM, ACTION, LANDSCAPE
Un cuore rosso sul Gran Sasso
A heart travels across the mountain, becoming a sign within its landscape. The artist’s film, photographs and editions document a project that brings the landscape of Abruzzo into a collective act.
1974 · PERFORMANCE
Personaggio enigmatico
A drawn mark takes shape through gesture. A sequence of photographs traces the development of the character, moving between drawing, bodily presence and transformation.
1995 · INSTALLATION
Il grande firmamento
A darkened room, fluorescent stars and ultraviolet light turn the sky into a space to move through, engaging both sight and sound.
1998–1999 · HAND-SEWN TAPESTRY

but it would be disastrous
not to seek it.”
