Oliver Mark’s Ventotene pictures were created at the invitation of Yvonne Andreini and Alessio Castagna in the residency program IN/SU/LA in June 2024.
IN/SU/LA is a residency program that aims to promote exchanges between European artists within a geopolitical European context.
Each year IN/SU/LA creates new spaces in which participants address issues related to the concept of borders, the idea island and, since the last edition, also artistic re-formulation of the theme of landscape in painting, drawing and photography.
