Gerano - Madonna del Cuore

In collaboration with: Flower Carpet

In 2018 we were invited by the Association of ephemeral art of Gerano to participate to their tradition. They honour the Madonna del Cuore, a holy painting of the Virgin with a firey heart. This painting remails the whole year hidden behind a protective curtain, and the last sunday of april is the only day of the year that they  uncover it and parade it around the town so that everyone can pay its tribute. To celebrate it, they organize a little procession, and they decorate the main street with Flower carpets.

We built a Flower carpet representing the begonia fields of Lochristi, to recognize and honour the hard work of the ABVS growers and as a hint to one of the most important materials of our own tradition.
