Sasha Vinci's participatory sculpture rises from storm-felled trees at Caserta Palace
Sasha Vinci, an artist, has created an interactive installation called Piccola Primavera Dorata, using wood from trees in the Parco Reale of the Reggia di Caserta that were harmed by storms and disease. This installation was made for the first edition of the Creazione contemporanea e Museo Verde | Wooden Renaissance competition in the Bosco Vecchio area. Community members, including students and teachers, contributed by carrying head-shaped wooden pieces to build a tall structure symbolizing the Axis Mundi and teamwork. It represents various animal species. The event featured an original march by Vincent Migliorisi, played by Banda Blondeau and Banda Città di Caserta. Vinci's work on 'Multinaturalism' looks at how human actions affect nature, with the installation intended to be gradually reclaimed by ivy and the environment.
