As part of the Via Padova 2009 initiative, Assab One invited Alessandra Spranzi to develop a project connected to the neighbourhood around the association’s premises. 

The project was made possible thanks to the collaboration of a number of local businesses and institutions, as well as individual residents who enthusiastically agreed to take part in the initiative, offering their personal experiences of the neighbourhood, their knowledge and even their homes.

The project

Alessandra Spranzi observed and recorded the architectural chaos characterising the four kilometres of Via Padova. With her photomontages she redrew and highlighted the fragmentary nature of what she saw. A reflection on the line that, even symbolically, unites and separates the buildings. Her photomontages are published in an artists’ book presented at the Triennale in context of inContemporanea.
