A gaze that uses a place as a pretext: the coastal environment of Bagnoli, in the west of Naples, and a timeframe: from the closure of an old steel mill to the environmental reclamation of the site.

It is a gaze that crosses all spatio-temporal boundaries to reach a «suspended land», where the line of history enters an absolute cyclical dimension, and where time, place, and metal become symbols of a universal condition.

A context that has slowly become a microcosm, isolated from the rest of the city — an anomalous periphery of landscapes, neighborhoods, and abandoned factories.

An empty space, corroded by time, that allows people to grasp the idea of the city they live in through contrast — because it is precisely through this anachronistic fracture that memory flows, searches for its own symbol, projects and internalizes its wounds.
