Ireno Guerci, an Aurovilian artist and photographer, has been announced as the 2014 recipient of the prestigious “LericiPea” – Ligurian Poets and Artists in the World – award. Liguria is a region of north-western Italy, and every year, the prize is awarded to an artist who is honouring his/her Ligurian origins with their work. In the case of Ireno, it is his Auroville-based work, including his recent “Water Being” project using photography, video and installation, which has earned him the privilege.
