Via four contributions born from the conversations that arisen from the Quando sbucci il marmo exhibition, the book recount the artist’s first two years of research: an introduction by Nicola Ciancio from Ex-voto association; the epistolary confrontation with the curator Pietro Gaglianò; notes about the books of the Società Napoletana di Storia Patria; the gaze of the videoart curator Alessandra Arnò and the historical perspective of Marco Izzolino.

“The project ‘Atlas dei Corpi’ was born as an artistic practice around a specific monument to investigate alternative forms of memorisation and collective narrative to monuments. Inserting herself in an international debate that includes the politics of public space, post-colonial heritage and gender issues, Simona Da Pozzo proposes a shift from the verticality and untouchability of monuments towards an open and relational dimension.” Pietro Gaglianò
