A conversation with Chiara Camoni







The yellow snow 
I was in nursery school.
We were told to draw
a winter landscape with
markers. 

I made the snow yellow,
the color that seemed to
come
closest to snow white. 

My teacher yelled a lot,
insisting that snow
wasn’t yellow. 
I could not disagree more.

La neve gialla is extracted from a projection made with a magic lantern, in which the light comes from the candle that is placed inside the lantern.  The glass slides are painted.
