Since the age of Gothic art, the image of the labyrinth – an effigy often depicted on the mosaic floors of cathedrals – acquired the symbolism of the pilgrimage, or of the atonement progress. With 5 MINUTES FREE ZONE, a work created in collaboration with visual artist and activist Lucia Palmero,Maria Rebecca Ballestra wants to reflect on the extremely cogent topic of migratory flows,seen as the pilgrimage of unfortunate people who move from their motherlands towards new destinations, in search of a better world.

After which imagining an economy based on Giving will seem futile, dangerous even. Most people will think that this is the act of a lunatic who is chasing a chimera.
