Exploring the relationship between the creative arts and rituals and traditions

“A mask can be a mirror, a frame; it can have a thousand faces. It can be an instrument of transformation, but it can also act as a catalyst: change a face, an expression, and that alone becomes a mask. It all depends on how you look at it.”

Discover more about artist and his masks in the conversation published in our latest issue Riv.06: Vestigia by his friend and curator of , .

Before they defy gravity in the streets of Nola, the Gigli exist only as raw timber, elaborate molds, and generational obsession. For , the true architecture of devotion is found in the grit of the workshop, where the giglianti artisans construct these 25-meter-high monuments from the ground up.

Their story begins entirely from the making: the raw, physical choreography of hands carving skeleton frameworks, layering papier-mâché, and piecing together towering obelisks. It turns out that raising an annual miracle requires a little less divine intervention and a lot more heavy-duty carpentry and pure civic faith.

In a Roman suburb neighboring Infernetto (Little Hell), the Museo Agostinelli is less an archive than a cathedral of high-grade hoarding – where forty million objects hold a century of human clutter in a fragile, chaotic grip. For .na , the story begins with a single human gesture: hands plunging into fifteen tons of vintage buttons just to feel the kinetic energy of the deceased.

In conversation with 85-year-old Domenico Agostinelli, the duo explores a world where centuries-old dust is treated as a future scientific breakthrough and an “illegal dump” is actually a spiritual repository. Tracing the recurring motif of hands that once crafted, bartered, and collected, a central question lingers: when we finally vanish, will our souls remain, or will our cardigan buttons simply outlive us all?

In the high, thin air of the Valnontey, the glacier is less a landscape than a library – a frozen palimpsest where every layer of ice holds a million years of atmospheric memory in a fragile, crystalline grip. For .venis and .zuang , the story of the cryosphere begins with a single human gesture: a mark carved into stone in 1866, now standing as a haunting monument to an ice body that has since fragmented and retreated.

In conversation with researcher Francesco Ioli, the duo traverses the space between the sub-zero precision of the EUROCOLD laboratory and the raw, striated gneiss left behind by the receding Grand Croux and Tribolazione glaciers. Here, ice is reimagined as a “technoscientific trace,” a slow-moving interface between Earth systems that records our planetary shifts with agonizing sensitivity. As the mountainside reveals its bare skin of debris and ancient dust, a central, unsettling question lingers: when the ice finally vanishes, do we lose the water, or the very evidence of our history?

“There is this constant rimbalzo – a rebound – between the physical and the digital. I’ll make a physical tapestry, bring it into a VR context, and then from that digital space, a new physical work is born.”

“Textiles are incredibly rich because they hold stories on multiple levels: the material history of the fiber, the labor of the spinning, and the ancient, almost magical ritual of the loom. To me, the thread is a road between dimensions.”

“My home is not a residence; it is a living, breathing archive. It’s filled with layers of sediment. I am in a constant, sometimes noisy dialogue with my ancestors because I am surrounded by their choices.”

“To me, the Universe is a place where objects constantly change and leave traces behind. What first drew me to black holes was the fact that they represent the final stage of a star’s life. A black hole or neutron star is the last remaining sign of that process, a kind of record of what the star once was.”
