Le Voci Delle Macerie

Mattia Marchese

In December 2022, I stumbled across a mysterious earthquake that not only affected my entire family, but was also the catalyst for their migration to Switzerland. In my search for understanding, I rummaged through archives, examined pictures and conducted three revealing interviews with my mother, a village rescuer and a historian. The profound impact of this event on my family and the entire region of southern Italy is now revealed in this book, which I wrote as a thesis. In this book, you have the opportunity to relive this traumatic event through archive documents, atmospheric images, gripping interviews, insights into the current state of the villages and statistics.

Finale 23

Diplome

After three years of virtual or hybrid exhibition formats, a final exhibition was held at Fellerstrasse 11 in Bümpliz for the first time again in 2023. However, the pandemic not only led to the establishment of new forms of exhibiting. Of course, the crisis also had a direct impact on the studies of many students: They hardly saw each other on site, often worked alone and moved almost exclusively in virtual space. This also led to many students wanting to extend their time at HKB. This year in July, twelve students graduated from the Visual Communication programme. You can find their work here:
