ARTISTS INVITED IN LANDSCAPES   FOR HOLIDAYS 2023

LIDIA BIANCHI
INDACO TERRA
Lidia Bianchi (San Felice Circeo, 1992) is a visual artist working with photographic imagery. She studied visual arts at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma and photography at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan and the EASD in Valencia. She currently lives and works in Milan.
Her vision takes shape from the aesthetic intuitions evoked by the landscape, and from the unattainable quest for the archaic within the fissures of the contemporary. Her research considers the Mediterranean as an aesthetic space, a place of both ancient and new imaginaries which, engaging in a dialectical relationship with one another, create an alternative visual narrative focused on the telluric forces that animate it.
ROBERTO CASTI
DEATH BY LANDSCAPE
Roberto Casti (Iglesias, 1992) is an artist, musician, and writer. He lives and works between Milan and Iglesias, Sardinia. His artistic practice spans multiple media, including video, performance, installation, painting, and sound. With the transdisciplinary project The Boys and Kifer, which began in 2014 as a fictitious musical band, he explores new methods of community and coexistence through the participation of numerous artists, musicians, and theorists.
He has collaborated with and exhibited in various spaces and institutions, including MAN (Nuoro), FRAC de Corte (France), Marsèlleria (Milan), PAV – Parco Arte Vivente (Turin), OGR – Officine Grandi Riparazioni (Turin), and the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera (Milan). He has published articles for Nero on Theory, Kabul Magazine, and Artslife. In 2023, he contributed to the collective publication Soft Crash, produced by MACRO in Rome.
GAIA GINEVRA GIORGI
LABORATORIO 
Gaia Ginevra Giorgi is a poet, sound artist, dramaturg, and performer. As an artist and researcher working across the fields of performative arts and sound art, she develops practices and methodologies aimed at an affective and political rewriting of the landscape—both urban and non-urban.
Through participatory, site-specific interventions, her work produces ephemeral habitats and spaces of embodied, radical imagination. She is co-curator of Walk So Silently That the Bottoms of Your Feet Become Ears (Fango Radio) and an artist-in-residence at Radio Raheem. She is also a member and co-founder of the collectives Extragarbo and Call Monica.
GEROLAMORE
INVASIVE CAFÉ
Luca Conte, aka Gerolamore, is a transdisciplinary artist who explores the ecological and spatial dynamics inherent in social encounters. Often using food as a desirable medium, he creates situations that appear canonical but conceal hidden rules. By juxtaposing the genuine naturalness of food with cultural customs in these ambiguous scenarios, experiencing and observing simultaneously catalyzes a conscious transformation of space into artwork.
After studying fine arts in Carrara (2012) and later in the Netherlands (2015), he returned to Italy in 2020 to study gastronomic sciences, and in 2022 established Palazzo Bronzo in Genoa, an artist-run space dedicated to art, architecture, theater, and performance.
ERIPINIO LABROZZI E DAMIANO MALANDRINO
SEDUTA MAREA
 Erpinio Labrozzi, originally from Abruzzo and now based in Milan, is an architect, PhD candidate, and teaching assistant at the Politecnico di Milano. A specialist in sustainable design, he works across scales both as a freelancer and through collaborations with internationally renowned studios in Milan, Paris, and Copenhagen. His research focuses on the relationship between project scales and the local and global environmental impacts of architecture and building materials.
Damiano Malandrino, architect and Politecnico di Milano graduate, explores up-cycling processes of fishing nets and their applications in architecture. He develops research and practice in executive architectural design and project implementation, working both as a freelancer and with architectural studios in Milan. He is also an active member of the collective ADORA, which promotes art and architecture.
YU KATO
ORIGIN OF THE WIND
Yu Kato seeks to cultivate an awareness of the world, believing it can enrich our lives and foster self-understanding. Since the age of twenty, she has traveled extensively, continually moved by the beauty around her. Through this journey, she has learned that every place holds its own beauty, and what we truly need is awareness.
Her aim is to create works that, like transparent lines, refine the world’s beauty—often difficult to perceive because it has become so familiar. Her ultimate goal is to reveal that the world we think we know is full of surprises. She currently captures and expresses the world through various materials and media.
STUDIO FIGURE
TALK A CURA DI SPAZI FOTOGRAFICI Studio Figure was founded in Milan in April 2021, when Giulia Ticozzi and Giuseppe Fanizza combined their expertise in photography to oversee all stages of visual projects, from conception to display. In collaboration with cultural institutions, the third sector, and publishing, Studio Figure investigates themes including social landscapes, border dynamics, urban regeneration, cultural heritage, and production systems. Their practice spans documentary photography, relational design, and curating events and publications linked to photographic research.

Since 2019, it has operated nationally and locally with programs in training, production, and dissemination, particularly focused on photography and visual arts. It collaborates with leading artists, experts, and institutions.

I MITILANTI












I Mitilanti have distinguished themselves through a series of projects that explore performative poetry and the spoken word. In 2017, they organized Mitilanza #1 – Gli Spazi Mobili della Poesia, a nationally recognized event in La Spezia that brought together over 100 poets and speakers, creating a dynamic space for poetic exchange. The following year, they released Casa Dentro, an EP blending poetry and electronic music around the theme of travel. In 2019, they presented Poetry Call, a performance inspired by the world of call centers, highlighting the poetic potential in everyday environments.
During the constraints of the pandemic, I Mitilanti continued to innovate: in August 2020, they launched Sail In, a marine drive-in in the Gulf of Poets, and in 2021, they created Poetry Take Away & Delivery, a performance specifically designed to make poetry accessible and engaging during lockdown. Through these projects, the collective has consistently explored new ways to bring poetry into contemporary life, combining creativity, performance, and public participation.
ADORAAdora Collettivə, a multidisciplinary laboratory, has been active since 2022 as a creative workshop in constant evolution. The collective brings together architects, designers, curators, and artists. Each event organized by Adora functions as a performance-event, where the artwork becomes total, involving both its creation and its presentation, in a continuous blending of techniques and disciplines. The collective thus eludes any traditional definition, engaging with a fluid and ever-changing sense of contemporaneity.
