The Myth of the CiucciaNebbia
2022

Pollution is often portrayed as an external matter to human bodies and culture. The project embodies the phenomenon of air pollution as CiucciaNebbia (meaning 'fog-sucker'), a mythical creature that walks the streets of Milan. Their body is made of fine toxic particles that settle on the facade of buildings. These layers of smog act as a living archive of Milan’s industrial history, along with the ideologies and lifestyle of its inhabitants. The CiucciaNebbia poses the question of what it means to assume the role of a hybrid subject, to embody a series of relationships and to identify with one’s surroundings when it is disrupted, contaminated and toxic.
