“Quel giardino abbandonato così a se stesso da più di mezzo secolo era divenuto straordinario e incantevole.
[…] Il giardinaggio era scomparso ed era tornata la natura. Le erbacce vi abbandonavano, avventura ammirevole per un povero angolo di terra. Nulla in quel giardino si opponeva allo sforzo sacro delle cose verso la vita; […] la vegetazione, in un abbraccio stretto e profondo, aveva celebrato e compiuto là, sotto l’occhio soddisfatto del Creatore, in quel recinto di trecento piedi quadrati, il santo mistero della fratellanza simbolo della fratellanza umana.”
V. Hugo
I was always fascinated by the way vegetal life is able to develop in every environment, even in adverse situation. At the same time I’ve always found an aesthetic and expressive value in those spaces where nature defeats the human tendency to subdue the ground and finally is free to express all its energy.
Moving from this reflections I tried to focus on this topic with a simple test on my balcony: close to my plants on 15th july I put a little jar full of ground. I haven’t sown anything in it. After a month, the first sprout appears.
Today my jar is full of those vegetations which are disdainful named weeds, in order to create a little environment where domestic and wild are crossing each other.
Flowers of the case is an open project which testifies a process that is going to develop in the time.
