LUCA CAMPESTRI. A BREADCRUMB TRAIL

Consisting of a set of narrative fragments that make up a nocturnal landscape inhabited by ambiguous, affective, even hostile presences, theexhibition intends tothe central moment of the traditional fairy tale of Hänsel and Gretel, placing the visitor at the centre of the story. Abandoned for a second night in the woods by their parents, having managed to find their way home the previous daythanks to the trick of the pebbles documented in the tale, the two siblings cast a look of despair on the trail of crumbs, which has now been devoured by nocturnal animals. The exhibitionqueries fragile methods for orientation and positioning, and explores the need to find a way home, all while that “home” is not necessarily the right place to be.
