ALPINE NEWT

FRANZ AVANCINI & ASS. SMARMELLATA – 2020

Alpine Newt is a collective artwork, the result of the second edition of an open land art workshop conducted by the artist Franz Avancini and promoted by Smarmellata and Piano B.

The artwork interacts with the nearby river: the Newt has just come out of the waters and is moving its sight towards West, where the sun goes down behind Ledro’s mountains. The artwork depicts an Alpine Newt and wants us to reflect on the importance of the preservation of biological species from our territory and to pay respect to their habitats.
