Primordial Clepsydra

This project investigates the global issue of rural villages abandonment and tries to understand how speculative scenarios and role-play games could be intertwined to open up new perspectives about collective participation, mutual support and rural peripherality. Could the act of blurring the thresholds between life and game and between past, present and future facilitate the twist of social relations within a territory? With “Primordial Clepsydra” I imagined an alternative framework to share knowledge, skills and acts of care between the inhabitants of a rural village in South Albania. I experimented such scenario through a role-play game event taken place in The Hague.
