Sylvia is a blind girl. Participating artists from the 10th Kaunas Biennial were given a task of describing their art works to her. Here's what happened...
Mattia Vacca WINTERS' TALE is a project about the village of Schignano (Italy).
In a green valley, amongst coniferous forests and alpine pastures, the village of Schignano embeds itself in the poor mountains that face Lake Como. One of the most ancient traditions of Schignano is surely the Carnival, which is celebrated every year in a very peculiar, nay, unique way. The parade, full of allegories and symbols, depicts the farewell of the men, who have to leave the village once again towards their migrant destiny.
The Carnival sinks its roots in the past, common to many villages of the region, when the men used to leave their homes and families for nine months a year.
