The Project derives from an utopian concept of an island, that would be a floating ‘biennale’ of art—a neutral space for creative exchange, moving from one shore to another and performing as a bridge over all humans’ divisions: geographical (3 continents), political (currently 23 countries), linguistic, cultural, religious and others.
In opposition to a hierarchy, it was meant by the dolphins to be a holarchy—an evolving, self-organizing and open system, where every element is, at the same time, a part and a whole, enabling horizontal communication and free fluctuation of forms. … The project draws from the vast Mediterranean culture and history, revealing the aim to escape from both euro- and anthropocentric perspectives and seeking for their substitution with a new holistic narrative.
