Viaggio al centro della Radice (Journey to the Root Center)
by Cristina Barbieri
[Concept]
Journey to the Root Center is an invitation to delve into a natural path of divination towards Mother Earth, ultimately finding a pure connection with her.
It is like visiting a sacred temple – or a forest – where the connection with the natural and spiritual world has been venerated for millennia. This visit is led by the fungal element, representing life in the earth’s substrate and life on the surface. Journey to the Root Center is an installation in itself, but with a more meticulous view, it can also be read as a performance, a kind of ritual involving the artist (shaman) and the visitors (tribe), who activate the work with their presence. Towards an ancient awareness of life and its relationship with nature.
