ITTSET Emanuela Loi in Nettuno (Rome)
The students worked on art as a metaphor and interpretation of the surrounding world, as a conscious linguistic choice, and they not only participated in the conception and development of the project, but also became the very subject of the work. The topic – Dante Alighieri’s Inferno in the Divine Comedy – was chosen by the students following a debate with the teachers on the central role of freedom of thought and expression. Each student chose a passage, he or she found meaningful from the work, and was then recorded reading the excerpt.

The installation reacts to stimuli from visitors and responds with the recorded verses from the Divine Comedy. A light has been turned on. The intention is to illuminate a path, individual or collective, that can shed new light on students’ personality, expression, reflection, and individuality in a collective context. Light has been shed on their thoughts, sentiments, and knowledge through the light of Dante’s phrases.
