FRUITS OF GLORY


This installation is sits inside a large mortar crater. We can expect nothing from such a destructive event, nor from such a desolate place. Yet, here, lifeless trees, all dried up, are “born” which in the future will bear neither leaves nor fruit because they originate from a genetic mutation caused by the War. On their trunks only large “dog tags” emerge, objects that soldiers have worn around their necks from the time of the Great War onwards for identifi cation.

We ourselves feel that what we are doing
is just a drop in the ocean.
But
the ocean would be less
because of that missing drop.
Madre Teresa di Calcutta
