Despite being in ruins, the ‘babelish’ work of Giovanni Cammarata (1914-2002) (a shack decorated with figures like a fairy tale or dream palace) in Messina continues to be a heteropic warning and to inspire urban actions, artists and writers. In the past few years, street art, wall paintings and performances have suggested a possible future for the neighbourhood. Today, with its urban transformation underway, but in a consumeristic rather than an artistic key, young artists spontaneously pay homage to what remains of the work.

Abstract
Despite being in ruins, the ‘babelish’ work of Giovanni Cammarata (1914-2002) (a shack decorated with figures like a fairy tale or dream palace) in Messina continues to be a heteropic warning and to inspire urban actions, artists and writers. In the past few years, street art, wall paintings and performances have suggested a possible future for the neighbourhood. Today, with its urban transformation underway, but in a consumeristic rather than an artistic key, young artists spontaneously pay homage to what remains of the work.File in questo prodotto:
