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.

Above you see some images of the test-run I organised in The Hague. Unfortunately I could not develop the project further in Albania with the inhabitants of the village.
Here you can find the small publication I made explaining how Primordial Clepsydra works.
Below, you see some images I took along the journey in South Albania that inspired the project.
