SHORT DESCRIPTION

The new Fanton Bivouac is a protective shell at high altitude, a rough-hewn sloped volume that inhabits the Marmarole saddle in the Dolomites, a boundless space at 2667 meters above sea level, a context made of rock, light, wind, snow and distances. Its fiberglass body bends along the cliff profile and draws a visual tracer, an attempt to amplify and frame the landscape, a space coagulated around the tension between the vastness of the natural architecture of the Alps and the minute one of the bivouac.
