La fête du Feu de la Saint-Jean: Centre d'art contemporain - la synagogue de Delme

For his exhibition << Voyages dans la mer perdue >> Matteo Rubbi invited me to invent some costumes based on the fantastical animals that the children created during workshops. These animals come from that wild undiscovered ancient world that lives in the imagination.

The first Gioco dell'oca by Marco Colombaioni was realised in 2009 in a small Sardinian town, Valledoria. A painted game invited the public to play and participate. This work is being interpreted by Cherimus at MAXXI Rome as part of the program Open Museum Open City | Esercizi di Rivoluzione curated by Hu Hanrou. In this version the animals are brought to live as costumes constructed by various artists and workshop participants. 

Here is the press release:

A variant of the classic Snakes and Ladders game, with 63 squares which symbolically retrace the stages of human life. Markers are the players themselves, as they move across a living board consisting of characters who represent animals: a jungle with which, along their way, they relate to the final square.
