AROUND: Workshop - Video-Art Experiment

The third itinerant AROUND workshop is an immersive experience focused on video art and co-design storytelling. Guided by an expert in the field, participants will explore the area between San Martino del Carso and Monte San Michele, capturing images and sounds to develop an audiovisual narrative that interweaves historical memory with artistic experimentation.   

THE ROUTE: 1. Peak No. 3 of Monte San Michele and Museum Monte San Michele was one of the most hotly contested strategic points during World War I and the site of violent clashes between the Italian and Austro-Hungarian armies.

At Peak No. 3, participants will find remnants of trenches and fortifications that bear witness to a dramatic past. The visit includes the Monte San Michele Museum, offering a detailed view of trench life and the war’s impact on the region.

2. San Michele del Carso / VHR Cannon Gallery of the Third Army An underground complex of multiple tunnels carved into Peak No. 3 by the 20th Mining Engineers Company between September 1916 and June 1917. 

More info 3. Schönburg Tunnel This tunnel, carved into the rock, is a historical site of great visual and emotional impact. 

The unique acoustics, shifting lights and shadows of the man-made cavities, and the contrast between war ruins and the natural landscape will provide participants with rich and evocative material for their audiovisual compositions.

4. At the end of the video shooting sessions along the route, a co-design session will follow, led by a Design Thinking expert.

The goal will be to edit a collective video artwork to be included in the AROUND exhibition pathway.

Planned Activities: Briefing and introduction to field video recording techniques Landscape observation and analysis of natural light Shooting sessions with special attention to visual composition and storytelling through imagery Brainstorming and co-design of a collective video-art piece using design thinking methods FREE PARTICIPATION / RESERVATION REQUIRED MAX 15 PARTICIPANTS NOT INCLUDED (TO BE PAID ON SITE)
