Marble, steel, audio. 6 mt ø  

Passaggio d'acqua (La Doccia) / Water passage (The shower) is an installation designed in 2000, inspired by the stories of migrants who, in those years, were beginning to cross the Mediterranean Sea from South to North. The work consists of a base of concrete and a light arched steel structure. From the top of the installation, instead of an expected flow of water, comes a flow of voices and stories, dramatic recordings that the group Stalker from Rome collected from the first landings of Kurdish migrants on the coast of Calabria. The installation was conceived in conjunction with the design of the video work Solid Sea, created by the Multiplicity group and presented at Documenta XI in Kassel in 2002.
