Noé Vercaemst – Cathédrale dans le désert

With Davide Fecarotti, a student at Ensp in Arles, we worked as a duo around a geographical area between southern Italy and Sicily. We discovered a particular structure. A structure that exists only in the collective imagination of its inhabitants. Engineers call it “the highest bridge in the world”. Here, it's simply called “ponte”, the bridge that doesn't exist.
We arrived here like Ulysses in the Strait of Messina, between Scylla and Carribdis, but without the Argonauts. A ruin, an architectural project, surviving like a myth, a monster, a chimera with arms of steel... but in reality, an instrument of power and seduction, at the service of Italy's political leaders for years.
