Celanapoli - Necropoli of Neapolis, Neaples

Plaster, wood, lacquer, relics from the hypogeum.

Mixed media, variable dimensions

An altar for the history of these places and for
debris of no apparent importance. The work
explores the concepts of recycling and transformation
of these elements. This allows us to come into contact with the different stratifications of the Hellenistic necropolises of Neapolis, reflecting on the invisible and constant changes these environments have undergone.

The detrital soil of this Hypogeum has accumulated over the centuries objects that trace histories and evoke memories and imaginations. These chromed panels of different shapes and sizes represent not only a structural necessity, but also a contemporary approach that opens a dialogue with a historical site that preserves the memories of thousands of years of stratification.
