Video interview with Abelardo Morell. Touch Ground A conceptual view of landscapes and seascapes at night that are used by immigrants from North Africa seeking new chances in Italy and Europe. By Massimo Cristaldi.   Mística X Unreal landscapes where objects and situations appear in apparent disorder to create an iconographic space where beliefs of any kind can be real.
