with the patronage of: Comune di Camerana, Comune di Paroldo 
with the support of: Associazione Parco Culturale Alta Langa, Cantina Boschetto Alta Langa The exhibition presents the outcomes of the Interfaces design studio, in which students from 20 different nationalities worked on five municipalities in the inner valleys of Alta Langa and Alta Valle Tanaro (Camerana, Paroldo, Sale San Giovanni, Torresina, and Igliano) addressing themes related to territorial fragility, depopulation, and new forms of use and inhabitation of underused buildings and spaces.
The exhibition took place in the former Oratory of the Disciplinati in Camerana Villa, a former Baroque church that has been altered over time and is now used by the community as a multi-purpose space for activities and events, especially during the summer. For this reason, the exhibition design was conceived as a temporary intervention capable of highlighting the potential of this large hall.
The installation creates a “room within a room” through a system of curtains made from plastic construction sheeting, typically used to protect scaffolding from dust. The curtains redefine the interior space, reducing its volume to optimize heating, temporarily concealing the current configuration of the hall while suggesting new possibilities for its use.
The striped pattern of the fabrics recalls circus tents, emphasizing the ephemeral nature of the event which, like a traveling circus, arrives, temporarily transforms the space, and then disappears, while also evoking the moments when fairs and traveling amusements animated these villages.
Maps, drawings, and models are displayed on mobile supports, made by reusing unexpected materials: grape harvesting crates lent by local producers and a wooden shelving unit reused from a previous exhibition. A system of LED tubes brings light back into the space, temporarily transforming the hall into an open architecture studio for the public.
