What happens when the land stops being a backdrop and becomes material, interlocutor, the very condition of making art?
As Terraforma EXO lands in Palermo, we are happy to present LA FANTASIA CHE LA TERRA CI RICHIEDE, a two-voice conversation with Renato Grieco and Giorgio Mega of @fondazionestudiorizoma.
Starting from Between Land and Sea and Brucialacrime, they explore practices born from consciously inhabiting Southern Italy and the Mediterranean: places shaped by marginalisation and transformation, and now by new research, culture and imagination.
The question: how can we tell and live the contemporary Mediterranean on our own terms?
Giorgio Mega: Sicily-based curator and producer working on sound and cultural geographies, co-founder of Fondazione Studio Rizoma.
Renato Grieco (kNN): Naples-born composer and artist, moving between musique concrète, ancient instruments, imaginary lutherie and sculptural rooms.
