Landscape shapes, 2018
Lucania, January 2018
‘Once I get at the top of the steep staircase carved into the rock, my gaze instinctively seeks the sea but the flat horizon is still far from reaching.
I am in the Small Lucania Dolomites, a geological singularity of the Southern Apennines. I get back on my path to the sea, through the landscape observed from above and I explore the signs. I am in a space shaped by time and water.
The territory of Basilicata region develops essentially on mountain and hill altitudes. Continuous erosive actions generate extensive ravine areas while the materials are brought downstream by the numerous rivers.
And all I do is follow its flow.’
The project - still in progress - explores, in a hypothetical path from the mountain to the sea, the variations of the Lucan environment, searching for human presence in the landscape forms.
