Fabrice Hyber's permanent installation for No Man's Land Foundation in Abruzzo
In October 2023, the permanent installation 'Le Chêne et les Noyers / La Quercia e i Noci' by Fabrice Hyber was unveiled in Loreto Aprutino, Abruzzo, under the curation of Zerynthia Associazione per l'Arte Contemporanea OdV. Established in 2016, the No Man's Land Foundation advocates for art as a means of social engagement and landscape enhancement. This initiative originated from a Land art project by Yona Friedman and Jean-Baptiste Decavèle, set in a two-hectare park gifted by Mario Pieroni. Additionally, a new exhibition venue at Museo Acerbo delle Ceramiche di Castelli showcases works from various artists. Hyber's installation, inspired by a 25-year-old drawing and the writings of the Marquis de Sade, incorporates an oak tree.
