A giant blue lacquered wine barrel magically descended from the sky, like a spaceship; inside, a spiritual environment dedicated to farm work.

The ancient tools at the bottom of the large wine barrel resemble religious icons placed on the altar of a solitary sanctuary. Elements that tell the story of the land, hard work, and dedication. The connection with working the land is typical of the areas between Italy and Slovenia and knows no spatial or temporal boundaries.  It is a game of reversal, where the wine barrel—the final product—contains the tools of the trade themselves, in a game similar to that of matryoshka dolls; the barrel is transformed into habitable architecture that modulates the entire surrounding area, creating a surreal and suspended atmosphere. A large, brightly colored toy, a dreamlike sanctuary, a relational environment: as if it had been placed there in the middle of the night by another population.
