Environmental dimensions.
The work starts from an investigation of an area along the edges of the Boicelli canal in Ferrara, that divides the city from the petrochemical plant, to explore what happens in that marginal strip between earth and water. The discovery of a plaque affixed to the pillar of a viaduct, commemorating the death of Sergiu Putin, was a finding on which I decided to investigate more, by collecting clues and information, until I dug up an object that I considered circumstantial.
