In Tuscany, close to Volterra, the Larderello area is one of the most important places for the presence of geothermal power. Active since 1913, today the plants are the pulsing heart of the geothermal system and together with those on Amiata produce about the 27% of the total electrical needs of Tuscany.
I have imagined to use some of the big cooling towers as canvas to draw all of the constellations I made since 2013 to build a dialogue between them.
