174 liters

174 liters of water represent the minimum daily requirement for an adult to carry out essential activities.

According to Istat, the minimum daily water requirement for an adult, necessary for carrying out essential activities, is 174 liters.

However, in Calabria, southern Italy, this supply is not always guaranteed due to persistent water shortages caused by drought, an inefficient distribution system and climate change.

Taking this recurring problem in the region as a starting point, the artist explores her family archive in search of containers for collecting water, which she uses to represent this hypothetical minimum requirement.

Playing on the themes of fullness and emptiness, presence and absence, the project depicts a quest doomed to failure, reflecting on the precarious nature of access to this essential resource.
