the project

The title of this year’s edition of straperetana is The moon is close. By placing Pereto symbolically alongside the conspicuous orbiting heavenly body, The moon is close seeks to highlight the ‘satellite’ nature of the hamlet, which can be reached more easily than bigger cities, yet is positioned as something distant, peripheral.  Precisely thanks to this distance – an isolation, almost – Pereto assumes the outlines of an alien planet.

Through a rarefied approach – which puts a lens to the most beautiful spots of the hamlet – the exhibited works seek to emulate the intimate condition of a moon landing
