Conspiracy of word and image is the eighth exhibition organized by the Ceretto family and consolidates their passion for contemporary art and their desire to involve and bring to Alba works by international artists. The exhibition has two protagonists: Lynn Davis and Patti Smith; the first has chosen 5 photographs on which the latter has drawn, with medieval intensity, words of her own and words of other poets, spells and runic inscriptions over the images.
