Wolfie projections

Solstizio d'Estate (2005) and Ombre dal Lupercale (2006)

2005 Solstizio d'estate / Summer Solstice
TEVERETERNO's inaugural event at Piazza Tevere illuminated the banks of the Tiber with 2,758 torches (fiaccole) around the perimeter of the site and representing the years since the founding of Rome. Artist Kristin Jones revealed a frieze of twelve grand She-Wolves by cleaning the patina of time from the embankment walls, and a one-hundred-strong international choir performed during the evening, conducted by composer Roberto Laneri.

2006 Ombre dal Lupercale / Shadows from the Realm of the Wolves
An all-night program of six sound installations paired with animated shadow projections on Rome's river embankment walls featured the work of a series of artists: Kiki Smith, Francesca Fini, Kristin Jones, Roberto Catani, Andrea Biagioni with Gabriele Manechhi, Gabriele Manecchi, Maureen Selwood, Daniel K. Brown with Erika Kruger, and Barnaby Evans. Composers included Alvin Curran, Eugenio Giordani, Roberto Laneri, David Monacchi, Nico Muhly, and Walter Branchi. One thousand torches (fiaccole) were lit along the banks of the river in Piazza Tevere, and burned throughout the night. The program culminated with a final musical composition by Walter Branchi to welcome the dawn.
