Un cuore rosso
sul Gran Sasso

The red cloth heart reflects a symbol of ancient memories.
It holds secrets never revealed, births, anniversaries, ceremonies
and festive occasions.

Preparing the heart, 1975

Pointing to a place

The slow, arduous journey marks the way to the summit, yet the ascent is intended neither as a challenge nor as a spectacular gesture. It is simply an attempt to point to a place to be experienced beyond passing fashions, to be loved
rather than conquered, protected rather than possessed. A place to be saved from the superficiality,
indifference and distraction of our contemporary world.
The hoped-for destination is a possible, remote world, where the meaning of life can make sense
of our rich heritage of memories.

In defence of the Gran Sasso mountains

Un cuore rosso sul Gran Sasso is a kinetic work born from the deep passion that still accompanies Sandro Visca on his journeys into the mountains.
