We are the Flood: Ysyk-Köl, Kyrgyzstan

Stefano Cagol (Trento, 1969) sees the artist back from a stop in Kyrgyzstan
«The unstoppable transformations push us to shift our gaze and heart to the entire world, to the planet that hosts us. “
The artist has chosen and reached different places on the planet, in addition to Greenland, symbolic ones such as Egypt, Malaysia and Kyrgyzstan, pushing himself far from the signs of current civilization to immerse himself in times long before us, in comparison with geological, natural and human manifestations. In profoundly different scenarios he has implemented metaphorical actions of what is the contemporary human being, represented in the videos as a foreign and rather aggressive presence, in a sea of dark artificial fog or with spray cans of sweet perfume that reveal themselves as weapons of fire like the ferocious jaws of dragons. The food for thought triggered by the artworks are many, also raised by the different anthropic contexts touched, characterized by cultures of the past, minor or in danger of extinction, threatened by our voracity, starting from the ancient Egyptian culture, the Malay tribes, the tradition of the ancient Kyrgyz people, nomads like the human being of the origins, and the Inuit people.
