Hope is a permanent installation, visible only at night. An itinerary marked with phosphorescent paint on the
Path of Hope, a route historically crossed to evade custom controls between Italy and France (the so-called
Death Pass). The path comes to a halt in front of a wall of barbed wire at the border between the two states. Hope was installed during the days in which hundreds of immigrants settled on the rocks of Ventimiglia, when the flow of migration was blocked through French customs at Menton, summer of 2015. A video documents both the installation and the world built by the immigrants during their stay on the rocks.
