Nuoro and Monte Verità, two magnetic places rich in history. Two ideal islands, two border lands and, at the same time, of belonging. This is the double scenario of the artistic residencies project resulting from the collaboration between the MAN Museum and the Monte Verità Foundation of Ascona, Switzerland. On a geographical line that leads from the north to the Mediterranean, from Lake Maggiore to Sardinia, the cultural exchange saw the artists reflect on common themes: the experience of walking and isolation, the great wild and luxuriant beauty of nature, the absolute breath of woods with archaic memories and Edenic innocence. Stories of life reduced to its essence have intertwined in these places with primitive forms of spiritualism and autarky. To be reread today in the current situation of critical thought that discusses the ecology of the soul and living.
