Flusso Project websitePhoto reportage via Echo Gone WrongCuratorial text  During my Flusso Project residency, I created three site-specific interventions: archival photography on a public noticeboard, a subterranean video installation in a local bar, and a sculpture of construction plastic and caution tape.

These works examine how histories become preserved, visible, or validated. Centered on Grotta Scaloria—a Neolithic cave whose history shifts across wartime aerial photography, 1930s infrastructure works, and local lore—the project questions institutional authority and collective memory. When does a discovery truly occur: at initial encounter, upon documentation, or through official recognition?

I was also drawn to how the underworld haunts those who encounter it: the tombaroli seeing footage of his own theft in a bar, the wartime pilot spotting his aerial photos on the street, and the pipeline worker haunted by caution tape and construction sheets. I wonder what haunts them – guilt, longing, or something else entirely?
