Are They Rocks or Clouds?

Marina Caneve's group of works Are They Rocks or Clouds? is a photographic installation, construction and reconstruction. The Dolomites are the central focus of her pictures. Landslides and floods occur regularly in the southern Alpine mountain range. In her long-term project, Caneve examined the methods used by scientists, the authorities and the population to prepare for future hydrogeological events. In the process, she records traces photographically, portrays the population and, in addition, uses written documents and numerous historical archive documents. Caneve's multi-layered and multi-faceted work revolves around questions of representation and documentation and seeks relations between past, present and future. At the same time, the artist puts the relationship between humans and nature, their resilience and dangers up for debate.
