Artwork 005 / 050 unfolds the mystical charm and the serene beauty of Capri on a quiet autumn morning just above the famous Villa Malaparte. This is the exact scenery that has already made Brigitte Bardot fell in love with Capri when she took this path (usually barefoot) down to Villa Malaparte during the filming of "Le Mépris" in 1963, as the infamous villa can only be reached by sea on calm days.
For centuries, Capri has been an appealing hideaway for celebrities, artists and poets. The Mediterranean island offers a welcome contrast to the equally mesmerizing but always vibrant Amalfi Coast in the background. Although the distance between the nearest point on the mainland, Punta Campanella, and the easternmost point of Capri, Punta del Monaco, is only 5 km, the atmosphere on the island feels very distinctive. It is precisely this remoteness, this special distance off the coast, that gives Capri this magical perspective and such a distant relationship to the rest of civilization. As the sun sets, Naples, Mount Vesuvius and the surrounding Amalfi Coast transform into a distant glitter, close enough to vaguely perceive, yet far too distant to hear, let alone care about. The moment you set foot on the cliffs of Capri for the first time, you immediately feel this unique charm and understand why this island has always been a place of longing for the rich and famous.
Hiking along Capri's east coast is a truly rewarding experience, as each step reveals a new scenery of weathered rocks in perfect harmony with the endless shades of blue from the Tyrrhenian Sea. My local friends like to call this part of Capri "King Kong Island" because of its raw, natural and pristine beauty. Capri’s east coast, home to landmarks such as the Arco naturale, the Grotta Bianca or the Grotta Meravigliosa, is equally rich in myths, including the numerous tales surrounding Villa Jovis and the Tiberius Leap. Once home to the second Roman emperor, Tiberius Iulius Caesar Augustus, Villa Jovis is located atop Mount Tiberius. Locals will tell you many tales about the legendary "Salto di Tiberio", a 300-meter-high cliff drop used by Tiberius to cast undesirables down into the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Artwork 005 / 050 is an homage to Capri's rich history and its unique appeal when compared to the Italian mainland, which is a mere 5 km away. The numerous cliffs remain silent witnesses of the times when Capri was home to emperors, luminaries and poets in search of a tranquil retreat. Artwork 005 / 050 captures this mystical and timeless charm of the island and invites you to follow in the footsteps of those who found solace in the sheer grace of Capri.
