The Future of the Country
is a work conceived specifically for the project "open", Elisa Laraia has worked since 1999 on the concept of identity and memory that has developed in this work in close relationship with the territory and the identity that they live. The artist spent some time in Latrobe, got in touch with the people to whom he asked to tell a secret that would enable it to create a profound portrait of the place. The intimacy of the words and glances caught merge with the need inherent in the search for Elisa Laraia of transferring to the public through one of your own private community. Interweave once again with the artist lived in the world, a large video projection on one of the historic buildings of the square of Latrobe is the medium of its public art to create relationships in a contemporary world that seeks dialogue but increasingly freeze in relations of knowledge only apparent. The Future of the Country is another piece of the artist's project that aims to map the world by creating a new archive of the anthropological society of the XXI century.
"In future I see the mirror of my past
in the future looking at my face and I guess my old face
a child cry in the future certainty of stones that stay in place, feelings of uncertainty
torn emotions in the past I see the incomplete
mirror of our future I see the inside of my body grow and devour the walls of this house
in the future I see a secret from the past. "
