una apis nulla apis is a situated work specifically designed for “materia prima” show and revolves around a sculptural diptych plus a porcelain floor-based installation, in dialogue with the architecture of the 15th century historical kitchen of castello laifenthurn in livo (trento) and the surrounding pomari (apple orchards) that extensively mark the alpine landscape. its rhizomatic forms draws inspiration from a previous fieldwork in val di non, undertaken to engage with local beekeepers and source the prime matter directly from the region.
