José Antonio Hernàndez – Diez
"José Antonio Hernández-Diez chose to place his work in the cellars of the Castello di Linari, installing two giant cardboard containers (which refer to those in tetrapak for wine sold in supermarkets) on a floor made of old wooden beams, serving as vertical extensions of two televisions broadcasting the video of an improbable "fruit" from which a liquid flows. Across from them, scattered among barrels and beams, three pizza boxes containing televisions with a video showing the joined tips of a newborn's feet emerging from a narrow opening in a membrane. An apology of "junk food" and a critique of consumer society: the specter of globalization hovers in the cellars."

Ottonella Mocellin
"Ottonella Mocellin A story unravels like a ball of yarn within the ancient house, from the cellar to the top of the tower, from darkness to light, from the bottom to the top. Ottonella Mocellin's work has this linear structure that is more literal than substantial. In fact, the narrative frays and shatters into visions and apparitions. In the cellar, a video projection shows the image of hands unwinding the thread through a long journey through the house: like the structure of a story without a story, or with another story, which is that offered by the vision of traversing the old house. On the tower, a red ball of yarn, which is obviously the thread we saw in the image below. Perhaps, but it could be a completely different story. From the ball of yarn emanates the sound of a tale that tells a story, as ancient as the house, of witchcraft, abductions, splits, and differences."
