EXcursus
Digression
Getting off the straight and narrow path by wandering without a fixed destination: the most intimate and profound sense of the creative spark. The closing room of the exhibition itinerary becomes a place where anyone can stop, and use space and time to put the inspiration energy encountered during the exhibition onto paper. The room is decorated with a mural by a friend of Elena Xausa's, Luca Zamoc, one of Italy's most important street artists.
