175 ETTARI di Valentina Miorandi
175 HECTARS participatory project Date: 27th of January, 2013 Location: Trento Duration: 3 h Participants: almost 600 On 27th January 2013, the participatory project titled 175 hectares has run through the streets of the city of Trento. All the community has traced a line of white chalk that measures 6.3 km and the area included was 175 hectares: the exact surface area of the extermination camp of Birkenau (Auschwitz II, Poland). Through the collective action the people, in turn, have passed each other the wheelbarrow and they’ve drawn a part of the line until the conclusion of entire perimeter. Through the physical experience of walking these distances we could perceive the vastness of Birkenau and translate the abstract quantity that indicates its extension.
