CRATERE This story is about life and not only commonly shared social issues. Crater /ˈkreɪtə/ a large bowl-shaped cavity in the ground or on a celestial object, typically one caused by an explosion or the impact of a meteorite. Oddly enough, the southern Italian city of Croton, the city of Pythagoras and one of the most important centers of Magna Graecia, gave its name to a small crater on the surface of Mars, which has a diameter of about 6.28 km and whose coordinates are in latitude N. 82.27° and S. 82.16° while E. 291.08° and W. 290.3° in longitude. The idea of outer space and planets supports the matter of otherness, a remote sense of unsettling diversity, that invests human identities in prismatic and multifaceted ways. The series investigates the matters and means of living, the fulcrum of this story lies within the concept of home, internal and external borders, thresholds and shelters. The city of Crotone holds live bodies, that as migrants arrived with a simple intent, to experience humanity and to actively interact with an alien and unknown territory. I met people in need, in search of mutual aid, in the hope of contrasting a series of consequential and precarious life circumstances. I directed my glaze with a simple heart. The shacks are positioned under the bridge at the edges of the city, and have been recently equipped with solar illumination systems, which have become a strong symbol of osmotic interaction with the landscape. I learnt a lot. Ironically, I was evicted from my home just as I was returning from the CRATERE experience. I had to move quickly out to a new shelter without facilities, without lighting system nor water. There, I adopted the same solutions I witnessed under the bridge. Out from my own gateways, it become possible to meet and relate to the Other, in a constructive process of research and reconstruction of the concepts of founding entrenchment, entangled and reciprocal communities and permeable entities.
