Prospetto a Mare adds the trans-Atlantic crossings of General Italo Balbo (1933) and itineraries of Ala Littoria (1934-1941) – Fascist Italy’s civil airline to my long-term exploration of the links between colonialization, migrations, and modernism in Eritrea, Italy, and North America. The sky and airplane—as a visual, cognitive, and political dimension—function as the connective tissue for multimedia works that reflect on discovery, display, and destruction. The works in this project lend themselves to upending the vision, actions, and material language of the scopic regime of facism as displayed on the occasion and aftermath of Balbo’s flight.
