Synopsis

This book collects (with essays in English and Italian) the reflections on the anthropogenic interferences that the artist triggered during a year-long creative process, prophetically anticipating and going through the Covid-19, the first great subversion of the Third Millennium. Authors: Stefano Cagol, Giorgia Calò, Elisa Carollo, Alessandro Castiglioni, Mareike Dittmer, Silvana Greco, Rachel Rits-Volloch, Nicola Trezzi. --- Questo libro raccoglie le riflessioni ( in inglese e italiano) sulle interferenze antropogeniche che l'artista ha innescato durante un processo creativo durato un anno, anticipando profeticamente e attraversando il Covid-19, prima grande sovversione del Terzo millennio. Con saggi di: Stefano Cagol, Giorgia Calò, Elisa Carollo, Alessandro Castiglioni, Mareike Dittmer, Silvana Greco, Rachel Rits-Volloch, Nicola Trezzi.___"The Time of the Flood. Beyond the myth through climate change," Stefano Cagol's year-long international artistic research initiative, began in Berlin on the 1st of November, 2019. By the time Cagol completed his artist residency at MOMENTUM at the end of February 2020, he had produced three new video works, a number of performative interventions throughout the city, countless photographs, installations, several studio visits, a symposium at the Italian Cultural Institute in Berlin – and the world had irrevocably turned upside down. Cagol developed his concept for "The Time of the Flood" long before the first cases of Covid-19 were registered in Germany. His concept, to recontextualize the biblical story of the Flood within our current climate emergency, remains a crucial and timely reflection on the devastating impacts we humans have on our planet. Yet who could have imagined at the start of this project just how prophetic and timely it would prove to be?_ Rachel Rits-Volloch___Stefano Cagol is an Italian artist who participated in the 55th Venice Biennale, Manifesta 11, 14th Curitiba Biennale, 2nd OFF Biennale Cairo, 1st Xinjiang Biennale, and has held solo shows at CCA – Center for Contemporary Art Tel Aviv, MA*GA Museum, Mart Museum, CLB Berlin and ZKM Karlsruhe. He studied at the Brera Academy in Milan and Ryerson University in Toronto with a post-doctoral fellowship from the Government of Canada.
