KOR’SIA

With Mont Ventoux, the KOR’SIA collective revisits the work that Francesco Petrarca wrote in 1336, Ascent of Mont Ventoux, apparently just a letter recounting the ascent to a mountain in an April afternoon. Through an ascent disguised in simplicity, Petrarca offers an alternative to the faith of the world, an ascending journey for humanity to elude and leave behind the dark years of the Middle Ages, bringing about a paradigmatic shift to the world to come–humanism. As the KOR’SIA collective perceives it, this story, Mont Ventoux, still offers us the possibility of learning from the past, which can be transformed into a better experience of the present, and therefore in the construction of a better future for all. — KOR’SIA
