Cripta, as its title suggests, is a crypt which the visitor can enter by stooping. Immersed in this dark environment, the visitor will then discover hand prints placed on the black walls and ceiling. These prints are made by the artist's left hand. As Parmiggiani says: "This is a work that can only be seen with the eyes and in the dark, because darkness is its own light; it is a work that can only be experienced by participating."
