The Satelliti project is based on a study carried out on the archives of the former San Lazzaro psychiatric hospital in Reggio Emilia in 2013 and in 2017.
The study, discovery, and promotion of a small part of the archive led to the realization of photographic works and installations that relate to various disciplines such as astronomy, geography, and zoology.
A direct comparison of the works highlights the special nature of human non-conformity, which in ancient Greek, Egyptian and Babylonian civilizations was interpreted as a sign of magical superiority.
Ancient views that have been lost.
Incomprehension in the form of a superior, divine entity.
