Artist: Ulderico Tramacere
Project: LORO
Exhibited at: * 2024: Museo Castromediano, Lecce; Church of San Trifone, Nardò; 2025: Italian Cultural Institute, Krakow
Technical Specifications: 20 works (as of 2025); various dimensions
Medium: 20 wooden display cases, ancient olive wood, official regional census tags for monumental olive trees.
Content: Each fragment of olive wood is paired with the original census tags issued by the Puglia Region. Once essential tools for institutional monitoring and protection, these identification codes were rendered obsolete and non-functional by the Xylella outbreak. The artist recovers and repositioned them alongside the wood, transforming administrative data into a tribute to the dignity of what remains.
