Adieu - erasing the Alps

How is it possible to change the collective perception of the surroundings? The landscape is just a background on which to erect buildings, have fun, cultivate food or to find inspiration? Could it be also intended as a digested idea of itself, of a national identity? The Nature and the landscape can be used transformed without physical interventions, without touching its integrity? Nico Angiuli's Adieu uses a system named "recadrage du reel" used during the industrialization period in Switzerland to create the paradigm of the rural culture and re-used in the tourism field, in the politics, as well as for current propaganda against immigrants. Adieu replies to the same mechanism using a portion of reality to imagine a new one. Erasing the Alps becomes possible.
