On the occasion of the Free-Climbing Festival, the video installation "tempora et auris" by Sara Maino (Arco, 1970) is inspired by the stratification of acoustic memories, expressed by the symbolic places of Bosco Caproni in Arco: the cliff face, dedicated to climbing, of the former oolitic limestone quarries, used for extraction of the stone from the mid-19^th century up to the second half of the 20^th century. The sounds that may be heard in the installation identify three eras: the time when the place was an ancient seabed; the modern age, in which the place was exploited for quarrying stone; and the contemporary age, in which the sound of miners’ pickaxes has been replaced by that of the tools of climbers, who use the space as a rocky training ground.
