Description

The construction

A few hours prior to the opening of the exhibition in which we were presenting our video Green, Green Grass of Home we did a performance on the main piazza in Rimini, consisting of tracing directly on the ground the plan of my Sarajevo apartment as described in the video, on a 1:1 scale (70m2) and rendered in fresh grass. Once the shape of the apartment had been traced with the grass, a small fence was installed around it, and from then on we enjoyed our new garden/territory by lying on long garden chairs and drinking champagne during the opening. At night, this green space became an unusual meeting point for the citizens of Rimini.
