THE NEWT
FRANZ AVANCINI & ASS. SMARMELLATA – 2020
Tritone Alpestre is a collective work, the result of the second edition of the open land art workshop led by the artist Franz Avancini and promoted by Smarmellata with the support of Piano B.
The work seeks dialogue with the nearby SAT river: the newt has just emerged from the water and turns its gaze towards the west, where the sun sets behind the Ledrensi peaks. The work depicts an alpine newt and wants to make us reflect on the importance of preserving the biological species of our territory and respecting their habitat.
