CLIMAX di Mina Gechi e Laura Battesini
L’opera raffigura uno struzzo, simbolo di chi ignora i problemi sperando che svaniscano da soli. Qui diventa metafora della sottovalutazione della crisi climatica, aggravata dal riscaldamento globale e ormai evidente negli eventi meteorologici estremi. “Climax” richiama il punto di massima tensione: come in una narrazione, anche la crisi ecologica è giunta a un momento decisivo, che impone un cambio di rotta immediato verso la sostenibilità.
- Titolo: CLIMAX
- Anno: 2024
- Materiali: Recycled wood
Biografia
Giacomina Nolli, known professionally as Mina Gechi, is a land art artist who works mainly in Trentino-Alto Adige, with projects also in Switzerland. She uses natural materials – wood, branches, stones – for site-specific installations that interact with the landscape and the community. Among her best-known works is Freestyle at BoscoArteStenico (TN), an art trail immersed in nature. She has participated in exhibitions such as Land Art Muzzana, reaffirming her commitment to raising ecological awareness and criticising the stereotypes that condition the relationship between humans and the environment. Laura Battesini (1982), architect and artisan artist, lives and works in South Tyrol. She creates furniture and installations using recycled and ecological materials, inspired by the organic forms of nature. Her research combines sustainable design, art and craftsmanship, valuing slow gestures and imperfection as forms of authenticity. She has exhibited in group exhibitions and continues to collaborate with Mina Gechi, with whom she creates hybrid works that intertwine installation, craftsmanship and female identity.
