, 1/1600 ISO 200, hand held. Cretto di Burri, Italy.

Il cretto di Burri o cretto di Gibellina è il nome con cui è conosciuto il "Grande Cretto", un'opera di land art realizzata da Alberto Burri tra il 1984 e il 1989 nel luogo in cui sorgeva la città vecchia di Gibellina, completamente distrutta dal terremoto del 1968. Burri progettò un gigantesco monumento della morte che ripercorre le vie e vicoli della vecchia città: esso infatti sorge nello stesso luogo dove una volta vi erano le macerie, attualmente cementificate dall'opera di Burri. Dall'alto l'opera appare come una serie di fratture di cemento sul terreno, il cui valore artistico risiede nel congelamento della memoria storica di un paese. Ogni fenditura è larga dai due ai tre metri, mentre i blocchi sono alti circa un metro e sessanta e ha una superficie di circa 8000 metri quadrati, facendone una delle opere d'arte contemporanea più estese al mondo.

A sort of shroud fell on the country remains destroyed by the earthquake.
