A.A.V., La festa dei semplici – Carnevale di Teana, 2023

In co-edition with Atelier Bizzarro, La Festa dei semplici is back, this time with a photographic collection of the carnival of Teana: photographs, illustrations, stories and imagery that evoke the age-old ritual of eliminating the old to make way for the new, in a mixture of pagan and Christian rites where Carnival is attributed all the faults of the past year, the vices and misdeeds, the scapegoat. Carnival inevitably ends up condemned by the entire community, in an attempt to start all over again, cleansed of all guilt, and hoping for a new spring.
