Starting from two different historical and geographical realities, the aim of this exhibition is to investigate the socio-cultural and anthropological dynamics that have developed between Sicily and South Tyrol which thus regard Italy in its entirety.
Ingrid Hora, from Bolzano who lives and works in Berlin, proposes abstract -absurd installation in which the folkloric – social and historical - elements, are transposed in visual and performance representations by reconnecting the traditional South Tyrolean figure of the female cow-milkers, and to the actual adoption in Castelbuono of female donkey-milkers also bound to the farmers civilization, to the door to door waste sorting.
Same same but different wants to open new viewpoints from the two most extreme sides of Italy, and therefore offer a thoughtful moment on this land’s diversities and complexities.
