I’m happy to announce that I will be taking part in EDERA, a group exhibition at the Castello Superiore di Marostica, running from 12 December 2025 to 11 January 2026.
Opening: 12 December, 6pm

Named after ivy — an ancient, familiar plant that threads through centuries and cultures by clinging, embracing, and holding — EDERA reflects on this gesture of attachment as a form of care. Set within the historic walls of the Castello Superiore, the exhibition brings new life into its spaces, much like ivy healing over stone. In the same way, art moves through the fractures of our territory, offering attention, breath, and repair.

The invited artists — Alberto Scodro, Giulio Polloniato, Link Hg, Lucia Bonomo, Riccardo Rizzetto, and Sandro Bonomo — engage in an intimate dialogue with the local landscape: a place suspended between precarity and wonder; sometimes an abyss, sometimes a quiet terrain of relations, clarity, and small astonishments. EDERA becomes a mirror of who we are: our contradictions, traditions, memories, and hopes that inhabit mountain quarries, riverbeds, and the murmurs of the hills.

Curated by Sofia Marcon and Lavinia Xausa
In collaboration with Associazione Culturale Futura, with the support of Fondazione Banca Popolare di Marostica Volksbank

Opening hours:
Fri: 15:00–18:00
Sat: 10:00–13:00 / 15:00–18:00

LAGOONAL ECHOES on Radio alHara
23.11.2025, 10-10.30pm CET

Lagoonal Echoes is a listening session expanding In Medio Lagunae, my solo exhibition co-curated by Nikolaos Akritidis and Yasmine Helou.

Lagoonal Echoes extends those inquiry through sound. Rather than using sound as atmosphere, I work with it as evidence; a way to disclose the entanglements between infrastructures and ecologies. The session arises from my ongoing research Eroded Ecologies, which initiated at the Centre For Research Architecture, Goldsmiths, University of London. It investigates how human impact becomes inscribed into bodies of water through industrial transformations, agricultural practices, and territorial engineering.
The listening unfolds through vibroscapes that, together, invite a different mode of listening; hearing water as a resonant archive of anticipation, erasure, and fragile persistence.

Rooted in the histories and geographies of the Venetian Lagoon, In Medio Lagunae unfolds as a poetic and critical exploration of landscape, memory, and ecological fragility. Taking the Purple Artichoke of Sant’Erasmo as both metaphor and medium, the exhibition treats it as a quasi-object (in Michel Serres’ sense) — a transmitter of layered voices: agricultural labour, colonial residues, infrastructural impositions, environmental precarity.

In Medio Lagunae support the Venetian Lagoon through We Are Here Venice.

ECHOES is out!

Happy to share my contribution with three poems — Water as Matrix, Breath of the Lagoon, and Where Residents Once Were — each conceived as an extended caption of some bw analog photographs of waters and textures I took.

“Echoes is a collaborative publication that follows Reverberations, the MA Research Architecture exhibition of 2025. It is an assemblage of poems, images, readings, reflections, experiences and contradictions. A collective space to express our solidarity, to enjoy our concomitance. To be creative, reflective, and playful; a contemplation of the year spent together, remembering the before and on our way into the after. This publication is the form given to the thoughts and reflections that didn’t fit in our academic texts. Quiet fragments which come together, louder.”

Eroded Ecologies at Reverberations — Installation views

On the occasion of Reverberations, Eroded Ecologies presents early findings from a wider exploration of the Venetian Lagoon; investigating how anthropic interventions become inscribed within the material fabric of its water bodies.

What began with the Purple Artichoke of Sant’Erasmo evolved into a layered reading of its soils, waters, and infrastructures.

Traced across the Venetian Lagoon, the first installation of Eroded Ecologies unfolds as an exercise in listening and situated observation.

Pivoting around a transect drawing that bridges the geological past with the ecological present, soil turns into image, water into vibration, space into narrative.

Chromatographies, field recordings, photographs, and cyanotypes compose an unfolding archive of the lagoon; where ecologies and infrastructures are entangled in a delicate equilibrium of erosion, persistence, and change.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for Walking as a Research Method in Deptford.

More than 60 of us walked together, weaving stories, traces, atmospheres, and perspectives into a shared counternarration of the city.
Walking is never just moving through space: it is a way of sensing, resisting, and reimagining the places we inhabit.

We are grateful for the energy, curiosity, and generosity you brought along the path.

And this may only be the beginning — more walks could follow soon…

FOLLY 02 “Cultivate” is out!

Honoured to contribute with my article “Canals of Resistance”, which explores the vernacular hydraulic architecture of Sant’Erasmo; where hand-dug canals regulate salinity and sustain the Purple Artichoke. Read against centuries of imposed interventions on the Venetian Lagoon — from Napoleonic closures to MOSE — these minor infrastructures emerge as living architectures of care, carrying local knowledge and ecological resistance to top-down control.

This second edition of Folly is dedicated to the theme of cultivation: to establish and develop, to nurture and form — whether of plants or culture. Agriculture and architecture have always grown in dialogue, from the grain stores of the Neolithic to Varro and Vitruvius, from country gardens to industrial farming.

The issue begins with an extract from Varro’s On Agriculture and unfolds into essays on Andrea Branzi’s vision of agricultural architecture, the canals of Sant’Erasmo, Aldo Rossi’s cleaning equipment, Superstudio’s myth of farmer Zeno Fiaschi, Lisbon’s Ajuda Palace gardens, kozolec barns in Slovenia, and the architecture of fire lookout posts in North America.

Massive thanks to editors Rosie Ellison-Balaam and Francesco Fiammenghi for steering this issue with such care and vision, and to everyone who joined the launch last night at the AA.

Featuring contributions by Marco Terentius Varro, Francesco Fiammenghi, Evan Pavka, Riccardo Rizzetto, Rosie Ellison-Balaam, Marta Rocha Moreira & Ana Sofia Pinto, Antônio Frederico Lasalvia & Renzo Rucli, Benjamin Mehigan.

WALKING AS A RESEARCH METHOD - WORKSHOP 27.09.2025

Walking is never just moving through space. It reveals who is allowed to walk, when, and where; it exposes how power manages circulation and how racialised and neoliberal dynamics shape everyday mobility. At the same time, walking weaves connections, gathers traces, and attends to what remains: what has been left behind, or what grows along the way.

“To be, I would now say, is not to be in place but to be along paths. The path, and not the place, is the primary condition of being, or rather of becoming.”
Tim Ingold, Being Alive (2011)

Deptford, Saturday 27 September, 3–5 pm
Hosted by Giorgia Chiarion, Riccardo Rizzetto and Jaya Mirani
with guest João Prates Ruivo

A two-hour collective activation: guided by prompts and observations, we will walk, note, record, weave, and gather impressions. Together, we will assemble a countermapping of our walks, layering diverse experiences into a shared reading of the territory.

Excited to be part of Reverberations, the upcoming group show by the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths. The exhibition gathers the work of the 2025 cohort, mapping how spatial practices reverberate across political, ecological, and cultural terrains.

St James Hatcham Church, London
25 Sept – 2 Oct 2025

Opening Night: 25 Sept, 6–9pm

I will be presenting my ongoing research on how anthropic impact on bodies of water translates into their very materiality, leaving traces and testimonies of such transformations — explored here in the Venetian Lagoon, through the Purple Artichoke of Sant’Erasmo.

Sounding Crops (photograph) + Not All Sound is Heard (poem) on show at THE MENU, LAS Gallery.

What I brought to the table: a photograph of a field of Purple Artichokes in Sant’Erasmo, a small island in the Venetian Lagoon. But the image is only an entry point — a portal into a layered terrain where food is not just an ingredient, but a living palimpsest.

This visual gesture opens up a web of more-than-human entanglements: from the hands that cultivate the land, to the rhythms of the tides, to the infrastructural violence of large-scale interventions that silently reshape both ecologies and identities. The artichoke becomes a quiet witness to these frictions: between tradition and modernity, the edible and the inedible, the visible and the erased.

The poem extends this gesture, asking what it means to sound, and what sounding could become, when attuned to more-than-sound.

Rather than staging an edible situation, my contribution imagines a speculative digestion: a menu of stories, voices, and sensory thresholds that reclaim the field as a communal table: messy, marginal, and politically fertile.

This work is part of my ongoing research at the Centre for Research Architecture, Goldsmiths, University of London, where I focus on the Purple Artichoke of Sant’Erasmo as a lens through which to examine the politics of authenticity, agroecological resilience, and infrastructural imposition in the Venetian Lagoon.

Thank you .g.s and for the generous curation of THE MENU!
