The different surfaces over which an inattentive eye would tend to pass swiftly, the ground that we walk on every day, the distant landscapes we glimpse from the window as we fly from one continent to another: in project has been picked out their details, cutting them into sections that has been put back together with sensitività to create vibrant maps of imaginary landscapes. The fragments has been photographed in different parts of the world and assembled to form a mobile grid, are transformed into a sort of individual map, into a fragile and ephemeral geography of expierence.

The fact that I work between two realities meanings from one situation to another. Single out and extrapolate visual information and meanings from their original contex, placing them within a new environment. Not
only doing the transposed form change in meaning, communicated with
new environment that it inhabits, but the venue becomes open to
various interpretations that also gain in meaning. Proceeding by
analogy, which supposes an acute sense of perception and heightened
powers of observations, to achieve indepth knowledge of the two
elements that are drawn together and compared.
