site-specific project fot the Paleontological Museum in Cortina

2013

During my period of residency in Cortina I asked to some fami- lies of Regolieri (local traditional administrators of the land) to locate for one day fossils from Zardini Paleontological Museum in their houses. The fossils lived, for one day, the daily life of hosting families, taking palce inside small personal collections that any of us intimately keep doing, sometimes unconsciousely.

Regolieri themselves documented this small coexistence by ta- king pictures that has been transformed by me in postcards, then located inside the local paleontological museum windows, next by the fossils that came back to their places.

A reflection upon the dinamics of exchange and collections, read through small daily gestures that allowed to reevaluate a local heritage and to underline a memory that is both personal and collective.
