In every area we are increasingly seeing a great recovery of origins: the terracotta pot is one of the most powerful symbols of the local and popular tradition, because it is linked to food, fire, heat and nourishment. For years Piral has produced thousands of pots of all sizes here on the banks of the Sansobbia, in a semi-industrial way but with a strong manual-artisan component.

Even today the historic Albisolese brand is synonymous with quality, thanks also to some factories that have continued to produce them as they once did, albeit in limited editions, totally by hand and on the lathe.

The pinatta is the emblem of ceramics, of the history of an important and living knowledge, which deserves to be enhanced to grow, innovate and not disappear completely.

A visual synthesis of this photograph is made in the project.

A paradox is created: the full are empty, the empty are full. The image becomes abstract.

The project combines photography, graphics and ceramics: thanks to digital design, the basis is created for a material work faithful to the original shot.

The work concerns the work of man, and its relationship with the void and the earth. Earth as ceramic and earth as territory.
