Project held by Antonino Benincasa / Wilko Lensink / Patrizia Bertolini
summer semester 07
South Tyrol seems to be a paradisiac place, without serious problems and
with wonderful nature. But of course not everything is like it seems. If you
have a closer look, you see the real South Tirol behind the touristic facade.
I created ornamental graphics, which seem kind and nice seen from far away,
but become critical on a second view. The graphics raise different social topics,
frequently discussed in South Tyrol:
two Tyrolean men kissing showing the tabu theme of homosexuality, the destruction of
nature by mass construction for tourism and arguments between language groups.
