ADRIFT by Paolo Boccacci
About
ADRIFT investigates the call of our primeval instinct by bringing together many disciplines: spontaneous architecture, sculpture, drawing, photography, environmental sociology and sustainability. The installation queries the reactive nature of human beings in response to natural events in a non-life-threatening scenario where art (rather than survival) becomes a basic instinct.
The exhibition narrates a story of how an exceptional flood of the river Ombrone on the coast of Maremma in Southern Tuscany (Italy), in August 2015, inspired the locals to make three dimensional structures along 12 kilometres of coastline by using the timbers transported by the flood and discharged into the sea.
