Event Description : EXHIBITION "The Pillars of the Earth" solo photography show by Virginia Zanetti

Curated by Ravi Agarwal

“A collective action that gives a new view on the possibility of people’s emancipation.

The action reverses the perspective: the individual supports the world, along with others, crucial nuance whether to play an active or a passive role in society.

Lasting peace and the wellbeing of human beings does not depend only on the reform of society but also on the transformation of every individual’s life, which can contribute to change both the destiny of a nation and the fate of humanity. Aim at reversing the point of view, sharing the experience with people from different areas, creating a new wandering community in search of a new ethics or spirituality. The work explores the concepts of rebirth and revolution through the reversal of the vision. Walking to reach tops from which you may “see” better, we talk, exchange ideas and spontaneously create a new community of people. People doing handstand are supporting the world becoming the Pillars of the Earth and trigger a process of collective construction of new concepts and new ways.

This project started in India. I chose this country both for its spirituality and its fast development in these last years. I am more interested in rural areas, in each of these places I cooperated with local people in order to create a series of workshops and partecipatory performances that would encourage the exploration of individual and collective potentialities.

The project is an invitation to everyone to turn upside down the point of view and the perspective with which you observe the Earth. Every action takes on a particular meaning for people who are co-dependent on that location, as a dry river, a lake under building, a cotton factory, a mine etc.”
