The project “Dear Campo. Work diary” by Alberonero
“Light, fragile, kind, a leaf. “Dear camp. “Diario di lavoro” is a small field notebook, the memory of a poplar grove that tells a love story, about finding yourself, about how to invent a place‘ it says in the artist ad Artribune. Accompanying the natural changes of the field on the banks of the Secchia river, Alberonero introduced twenty temporary works. In order to listen to the “time of the poplar grove”, the works were left to the natural transformation of the place, in direct contact with biological space-time. Over time, the installations have taken different forms and changed hand in hand with the environment. In addition to the works, Alberonero made photographs, audio and video recordings in collaboration with various authors and collected objects and natural materials found on site. A project that therefore also finds form in the pages of the book and, in conjunction with the artist’s direct and poetic writing, reproduces the biography of a poplar field destined for felling.
