Caro Campo. Workbook

Winning project of the Italian Council (11th Edition) organized by the General Directorate for Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture. The publishing project Caro Campo. Work Diary is a workbook that evokes the portable format of “field notebooks” durable books capable of recording “transactions,” movements to be traced both as a “poetic” experience and as a work diary.
The book stems from the broader “Campo” project, the human, artistic, and environmental experience lived by Luca Boffi (Alberonero) between 2019 and 2021 on the banks of the Secchia River in Campogalliano (Modena), in symbiosis with a field of 290 poplar trees until they were cut down. Immersed in this space every day, Boffi accompanied its natural changes, transforming portions of the field through twenty temporary works.
