an exhibition-workshop curated by Elena Campa
Leaves come in a thousand different shapes; you can collect them all to create a hand-printed herbarium. In the village and castle of Corigliano d’Otranto, the plant world gently creeps into the corners of the pavements, amongst the castle’s stones, into the moat, and bursts forth in the Quercia Vallonea park. Flowers, leaves and edible wild plants, small shrubs, and an Imperia pasta machine – used as a small press to create a ‘plant archive’ – alongside urban installations of graphic works and floral posters.
