Road Monument no.1

The roads of the Cuneo province in Southern Piedmont are the most  
dangerous in Italy and amongst the most dangerous in all Europe. Every  
year around one hundred people die and thousands are wounded in road  
accidents. What remains after the crashes is a series of debrises that  
crowds demolition area or remains abandoned at the side of the road.

Road monument no.1 puts together different pieces of cars involved in  
crashes as if they were part of the same accident. The installation  
explores the meaning of monument as something that helps to remember  
and scans an imaginary and material landscapes that populates the  
everyday life of the inhabitants of the region.

"Veneto Vs. China 1991-2005", a visualization of a clash of  
civilizations

The relationship between China and Veneto can be traced back to the  
voyage of Marco Polo in Cathay and his famous encounter with the Gran  
Khan, in the 13th century. That period was marked by economic and  
cultural prosperity both for the Chinese Empire and for "La  
Serenissima". It was also the starting point for a long history of  
commercial relations.

Today the Asian giant and the industrious Italian region are big  
economic partners with exchanges of around two millions euros per year.  
Despite the reciprocal advantages represented by this strong commercial  
tie in the last 15 years Veneto economy has begun to suffer from the  
competition launched by China enterprises in vital sectors such as  
textiles and small machineries. At the begin of the 90s the Chinese  
Communist Party had launched a "socialist market economy" and began  
competing with Veneto at the level of exports. Along the years China  
has more and more been profiting from its almost infinite source of  
cheap labour and from the imitation of European and Italian products.
