MARIANGELA CICCARELLO

"During my residency at sommer.frische.kunst, I look forward to continuing my research on water, interspecies communication, and the relationship between landscape, memory, and imagination. Inspired by the waterfalls, thermal waters, and mining history of Bad Gastein, I plan to develop a multi-channel video installation exploring water as a threshold between different temporalities and level of consciousness."
