The aspiration to go back to an alleged stage where nature nurtures humans without effort and fatigues, where blossoms and fruits grow simultaneously breaking the progression of seasons, has always been a very dangerous myth in which women, together with all the ones associated with the \u2018natural category\u2019, had to pay a very high price. In the work all the ingredients necessary to make a Winogradsky sample\u2014namely calcium, sulfur, cellulose, pond mud and water\u2014have been collected, connecting to the histories of their original locations\u00a0: from the bleached and polluted sand of Rosignano Solvay, passing through massive extractivism sites such as Carrara marble quarry or Sicilian sulfur mines, to symbols of wilderness and horror like Mount Etna volcano or the psychomagical badlands of Aliano. Looking at different techniques to relate to and manipulate the \u2018outside world\u2019, the work explores the myth of nature working in the intersections between science and fiction, chemical reactions and cosmogonic tales, magic and oral storytelling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">16 mm film transferred to Full HD , 5\u201930\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Soil of the badlands of Aliano, marble powder and water from the caves of Carrara, sand and cuttlebones from the polluted white beaches of Rosignano Solvay, sulfur deposit from Vulcano in the namesake island, rocks and basalt from Crateri Silvestri of Etna, sulfur powder extracted in Trabonella mine near Caltanisetta, textile and paper<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1074\" src=\"http:\/\/artaucentre.nnstudio.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1076\" src=\"http:\/\/artaucentre.nnstudio.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_2380-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_2380-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_2380-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_2380-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_2380.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1714,"template":"","exposition":[25],"class_list":["post-1395","vitrine","type-vitrine","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","exposition-en7"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vitrine\/1395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vitrine"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/vitrine"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"exposition","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exposition?post=1395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
