"Ortis" was born to involve an heterogeneous group of people (friends, artists, unauthorized farmer and common people) in order to create a socio-cultural critique regarding Expo2015. Texts, drawings, photographs, recorded conversations and notes are rearranged into a constellation of ideas. A set of materials, collected since November 2014, is edited with the purpose to describe experiences and ways of thinking, which reprsent an alternative to the big event.
To escape from the giant Expo2015, Ortis sinks into a marginal reality: the occupied vegetable garden run by Dino near the Santa Giulia neighborhood in Milan. A micro-story of authentic repossession of the land against the capitalistic logic of intensive exploitation and the issue of land grabbing.
With Nicola De Lorenzo, Lex Rosas, Daniele Maffeis, Dino, Nina Ćeranić, Aimè Valdor, Tik, Miss goffetown and Joseph Gabriel. A project by Pietro Bonfanti
