Stalker – Intervento Minimo: Difesa della Natura. Il Lago, da miraggio a ecosistema emergente

Minimal Intervention – Stalker (Giulia Fiocca and Lorenzo Romito) The spontaneous renaturalization process of the reservoir designed by Ungers and reduced to ruins is the epicenter of our proposed intervention. This intervention aims to understand and foster the evolution of this emerging ecosystem. A collaborative effort to celebrate and care for this ecosystem alongside the community, thus proposing an alliance between the human and the nonhuman in regenerating Gibellina's natural and urban environment. It will involve encouraging the community to understand and care for the lake, attempting to rescue it from neglect and decommissioning and make it the driving force for a process of regenerating the relationship between residents and the land. A laboratory that addresses the ongoing ecological crisis and the social transformations required to live with it from the ground up. The entire project will also be a transdisciplinary training program open to residents, universities, and interested research institutions. The proposal builds on the work Stalker has been carrying out for years alongside communities to care for and defend emerging ecosystems that have arisen from the ruins of modern Rome (Lake Bullicante, Mercati Generali, etc.). The project builds on the experiences of Danilo Dolci (Diga dello Jato), Lucius Burckhardt (Intervento Minimo), and Joseph Beuys (Difesa della Natura) and is dedicated to Ludovico Corrao, who commissioned perhaps Stalker's most beautiful work: the Tappeto Volante.
