In an interview with the arts and literature magazine Oogst (issue 5), Lara Gasparotto describes how she played by the river as a child, piling up branches and stones on the bank. Water is a recurring theme in her work – girls sunbathing by the riverside, kids diving and swimming, a red river near Seville… In Summer’s Gonna Hurt You, Lara Gasparotto shades beauty into melancholy, just as at the end of summer.
