Passage in Emona works to create new meanings and contribute to building a collective memory of a space, where visitors’ gestures and behaviour become part of the installation.

Hung brass elements and black ceramics move and find a sense of new balance, like a totem suspended in time. Porcelain and beans create a mystical passage leading into another dimension as mediators between different worlds while charcoal masks reflect traces of shared memories.

Passage is a research project on material behaviour as an interpretation of the evolution of human nature and the human spirit; an investigation of transformation as a ritual towards a new phase, a territory to rediscover, a consciousness to reawaken.

Every piece is taken from its current context and relocated to a new space, where time and use assume new connotations, in the process becoming totems of memory.
