Microaction Migrations

Migrazioni di Microazioni is an interdisciplinary artistic project, conceived by Giuliano Ravazzini and made executive by a community, whose poetics is to plant seeds or plants preferably in important or significant places (gardens, museums, squares and monuments).

The idea that the artist experiments for the first time at the Mart in Rovereto on December 15, 2006 involving some curators, is the first action of the cycle. The chicory seeds abundantly scattered in the gardens of the museum mark the start of this performative operation.

From that date, in fact, an uninterrupted series of sowings spread throughout the planet, permanent or semi-permanent, begins

authorized or clandestine, supported by a network of people who, remaining faithful to the poetics of the project, have carried out their micro-action in the places where they live or have visited.

Thus the seeds of various plant species, mainly a mixture of chicory, arrive transported to every corner of the earth.

This interesting and arbitrary process is producing a notable archive that documents the individual experiences whose peak is reached when the seed is planted, a gesture that becomes a collective action for which the initial poetics becomes ethics expressed with a seed, a minimal unit that contains all the potential of life.
