La Ritirata was an immersive and interactive installation that explored the theme of movement and migration. The artwork consisted of a series of large, white, inflatable modules that were arranged in a winding path through the streets of Vicenza. The modules were designed to resemble giant, ghostly figures, and were equipped with sensors that responded to the movements of passersby.
On the far wall, hand-painted in fading black lettering, was the phrase: "Ogni ritirata è una mappa inversa." ("Every retreat is a map in reverse.") la ritirata 2009 install
