Villa Massimo (Rom)

Underneath the small fountain (ital. pozzo) on the site of Villa Massimo a manhole is hidden. It is uncertain where it leads. Perhaps one finally reaches East Germany after a journey through the countless historical layers of Rome? Passing the images of the past, time and space seem to flow into each other between the places. Old boundaries become blurred and Milva sings „Auf Wiedersehen“. 1 Installation view, fountain "pozzo" (inside), laser cutting, stainless steel, 1m x 1m Performer: PERLA MADONNA Costume Design: Sunmeed Make-Up: Virginia Mozzetti Photos below by Alberto Novelli
