Geocaching in the vespasians of Bologna

Unusual objects, hidden treasures, fit into space camouflaged by their own function. This is a treasure hunt deployed in the city of Bologna with the intention of elevating the Vespasiano, the city’s historic public baths, to public monument status.

It is a work that originates with a digital dissemination of geographical locations, requiring research and attention within a physical place that is generally not frequented as a space for searching and observation. The work repurposes a digital space that can be participated by all those who will find the hidden treasure.
