Every year, the village partakes in the cherished tradition known as 'Feral Fête.' During this vibrant celebration, they honor their deep connection to the natural world by transforming their selves into the embodiment of creatures revered in their folklore. Through elaborate masks crafted with care and tradition, each villager takes on the spirit and essence of their chosen animal, parading through our streets in a jubilant display of unity, gratitude, and reverence for the diverse tapestry of life that surrounds them. 'Feral Fête' stands as a testament to our harmonious relationship with nature and serves as a joyous reminder of our duty to protect and cherish the wonders of the animal kingdom.

Amorphous: a journey through non-time, a journey through non-place

The village of Amorphous with a huge history behind it is now in an era of abandonment and decline, a result inextricably linked to capitalism and globalisation. The values represented by the village, with its historical ancestors who were half descendants of saints and the rest guerrilla communists who defected, no longer resonate in the modern world. 
The few jobs on offer are mostly manual - fishermen, farmers - or small businesses - hawkers, shoemakers. Over the last few decades, young people have been leaving the village, but despite its decline, there has been a slow but visible return of people to it. 
Simple people who want to live their lives in a simple way and close to nature, people who decide to start a family far away from the modern way of life choose to live in Amorphus not just as a place but as a way of life. It's kind of like a realistic utopia and the village despite its decline somehow maintains a certain culture. The historical-social context has as its basic principles the harmony with nature and the vigilance of being , in every form, both anthropomorphic and divine or biocentric. 
Amorphus, forgotten by most people now, seems to be stopped in a timeless and placelessness reality, where the imaginary of society was created by the fusion of these two different forms of culture: the tradition of the saints and the communist tradition.  Perhaps the price of decadence is high, but it still inspires people to live there.

Beauty is the exit of the one who has objectified himself in the realm of purposes and now abandons it."

Adorno. W. Theodor
