Fuori dal Mondo

Presented as a project at Visioni Incontra in 2023, “Fuori dal Mondo” tells the life story of Enrico Mereu, the only resident on the island of Asinara. Enrico Mereu, today, is a sculptor of tree trunks that have become lodged in the rocks by the sea, he is a liberator of forms, but for many years he carried out the opposite activity: as a body guard in the maximum security prison on the same island. A man of radical choices, who would never cut down a tree and who learned from the inmates to live without superfluities. Today, everything drives him to leave his paradise, but it is a bond that is difficult to break. Enrico resists.
