Südtirol Dolomiten 1 : 150.000 (Autokarte mit Panorama)
paper, 54×76 cm, 2014
In Südtirol Dolomiten the maze of street maps of the Dolomitic area of the Südtirol, is unhinged and lead to a new, geometric, order, that the artist decides to impose on the map. Weft and warps appear, recreating paper as if undoing the cellulose that it’s made of, in a precise work of re-assembling of hundreds of small frames, juxtaposed in a completely arbitrary manner, which ignores the boundaries, mixes the colours and with them the altitudes in an iridescent puzzle of levels that mocks the rigorous concept of “boundary”.
Senza titolo (map)
maps, variable sizes, 2012
Meticulous effort of sectioning of maps from all over the world, in “untitled” the maps abandon their planarity to gain a new unusual relationship with space. The scattered boundaries lose completely their meaning, in a tangle of broken lines, of letters which compose locations that are no longer identifiable, of dismantled alphabets. If the starting point is the bidimensionality of the planimetry, the result is an unstable orogenis, made out of thin scraps of paper and air. A breath of air could be enough to change their layout, to create new tendencies, a game of ephemeral surfaces.
