This workshop combines artistic expression with the exploration of Mediterranean flora. Participants discover local aromatic and medicinal plants such as lavender, immortelle, rosemary, and sage, which they then press using a contemporary technique combining a botanical press and a microwave. The resulting botanical prints are used to create personal postcards, bookmarks, or small visual compositions. This process invites reflection on impermanence, the beauty of detail, and nature as the living memory of the Mediterranean.

A textured painting workshop on round canvases symbolizing boat portholes. Using paper, water, glue, and acrylic paint, participants create relief artworks inspired by the Mediterranean—its sea, coasts, and towns.

Kamov’s 24 Aphorisms (Accenni) were published in the Futurist-Papinist literary journal Lacerba in 1913, three years after his death, under the pseudonym Gian Paolo. The workshop is performed using authentic instruments – eight sound boxes with springs, known as schachtophones, and graphic colour scores created by Damir Bartol Indoš.

Ephemeral Garden evokes the spirit of convivial gatherings by the sea. It is an immersive audiovisual contemplation on the perpetual conversations of life talking amongst itself. The multitude of voices intermingle in an ambience that is thick and alive, filled with liminal whispers. Afterimages of a planet-centred perception combine with field recordings and synthetic sounds to create a continuously changing atmosphere. From the space between the cells to the space between the stars.
