An audio installation in dialogue with a series of sculpture-relics traces the lines of an imaginative story dispersed over time.

“The noises passed through him like fragments of a disconnected sound mosaic, he was fascinated by every echo that touched his ears. He could find momentary calm only within the boundary drawn on the ground with his Lituus, a six-foot long stick, curved at the tip, the tool of the Augur. There within his path, virtually connected between earth and sky by an invisible thread, he was able to access what he considered the universal sound library in which the sounds of every moment of human history, past and future, were stored. Among those sounds he was certain one day he would hear at least one that he experienced in the present.”

The artistic research finds correspondence with the observation and reinterpretation of the territory: the body of sound and the sculptural material complement each other and reflect the natural double figure of the island of Salina. Didyme’s double.
