Andrea Morucchio's Red Track is composed of a video projection of images taken from a series of slides documenting a performative action that took place in Puglia in 2003.
The video in vertical format is projected in a narrow space of Palazzo Mora whose floor was covered with a red powder that visually recalls the red earth that forms the strip in the video and that gives the work its title Red Track.
The work deals with the issue of immigration, today increasingly dramatic especially in Southern Europe. While walking for a narrow path under the sun, an African man drags a long jute sack filled with red earth, which is characteristic of Itria Valley.The man struggles for the weight and discomfort of carrying this burden over a distance of about 200 meters uphill, leaving a line of red earth behind.

L'opera è composta dalla proiezione di una sequenza di foto - diapositive che documentano un'azione performativa che si è svolta in Puglia nel 2003.
Il lavoro affronta la questione dell'immigrazione, oggi sempre più drammatica soprattutto nell'Europa meridionale. Mentre cammina per uno stretto sentiero sotto il sole, un uomo africano trascina un lungo sacco di iuta pieno di terra rossa, che è caratteristico della Valle d'Itria.
L'uomo lotta per il peso e il disagio di trasportare questo fardello per una distanza di circa 200 metri in salita, lasciando dietro di sé una linea di terra rossa.
