CLARULECIS is the artist collective composed of Chiara Lecca and her family of creative talents and shepherds founded in spring 2020. It takes inspiration from the area in which it was born, the Romagna backcountry, and from the territory in which it has its roots, Sardinia, in idea of ​​preserving the primitive imprinting which nature has endowed the human being with. «It is a family collective – explains Chiara Lecca – which includes my family and therefore my 6 and 9 year-old daughters, my husband Germano, my brother, my parents, but also the people who belong to the past and, hence, to the family mythology and those who are projected towards the future meant as the life to live, which gives an indefinite and empirical feature to the whole project.

Like a line that links the precious elements of the past to a future to be preserved and enriched». Aiming to collect the traces and richness of nature, the collective acts en plein air, amid the woods of the Apennines, where it has ‘built’ a studio without walls in which everything is included and nothing can remain outside, both physically and mentally: it is intimate and, at the same time, boundless. CLARULECIS’ research focuses on the concept of ‘skin’ in its organic meaning, but also as a metaphor for a surface of comparison and external-internal boundary. Real recycled skins that wish a second chance meet imaginary skins that we choose as second epidermis every time we get dressed.

Thus was born the first product: a ‘PRIMITIVE T-SHIRT’, the most POP and widespread garment, conceived as a unique piece printed directly. Inspired by the natural habitat are also the performances that CLARULECIS creates in collaboration with dancer and choreographer Alimah Grasso and musicians Horseloverfat. Sequences of movements and sounds from the natural world alternate with the more structured rhythms of the anthropic context to create new synapses between the environment and those who live it.
