The project by Stefano Cagol documented in the book is a
trans-national journey across Europe during which he
carried out a metaphorical and symbolic survey to 'give
body' to energy, immaterial and invisible: cultural
energy, individual energy, collective energy, exchanges
of energy among people and environment.
It has been realized in 15 museums and art initiatives – like Museum Folkwang, Essen; MAXXI, Rome; Museion, Bozen; Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen; ZKM, Karlsruhe – crossing 10 nations from Norway to Gibraltar during the 6 months-long trip. By each stop the artist achieved participative actions that involved the public and have been captured by photo, video and an infrared camera as symbolic energy keeper.
The book contains an introduction by Veit Loers and statements, among others, by Andreas Beitin, Tobia Bezzola, Giovanni Carmine, Letizia Ragaglia, Andrea Viliani. The project and the book have been realized within the framework of VISIT, the Artist in Residence Programme of the Innogy Foundation.
