Segni Ars Munus started with a
visit to the archaeological sites that can be found in the historic centre of
Segni located in south Lazio, Italy. I have always been drawn to
archaeology; I’ve always seen it as a mysterious and exciting domain. This
experience has been an interesting interchange of perceptions between the
artist interpretation of archaeological activity and archaeological
interpretation of artist activity.
The Segni Project is a complex project that includes four areas of investigation. My work aims not to focus on one area, but the archaeological project as a whole including all the archaeological research; as well as touching upon the more personal side of an excavation – the people, whose interaction with the archaeological campaign and the archaeology is essential to the success of this project.
