HLADILOVÁ, Helena
La montagna che vide l’elefante / The Mountain that Saw the Elephant

In late 2022, Helena Hladilová was invited to a research-based residency promoted by Pinacoteca G.A. Lev is and curated by ARTECO and CRIPTA 747, to realise a project that dialogues with the territory of the Susa Valley. Interested in the world of handicrafts, from weaving techniques to stone cutting, Hladilová has approached the traditions of popular folklore and the intangible narratives that – through history – hand down legends and mythologies – from Hannibal’s elephants to the exploitation of gneiss and ancient embroidery.
