text and context; trace and gap; reading-writing-incision
Abstract :
[en] The theme invites us to rediscover in landscape a text and/or a context already written, being able to read and rewrite it again cyclically, continuosly and even almost involuntarily. The urge to go back to read the places returns to the request for planned structures of equal thickness and complexity of the existing. Writing, leaving traces, leads us to reflect on the meaning of incision, which as in the metaphor of the palimpsest (A.Corboz) "support engraved on several occasions in which the succession of scriptures and cancellations car never completely eliminate the signs of pre-exesting", pusches to reconsider the persistence of actions that modify the materials of landscape. If building is meant to go beyond the simple process of organizing and shaping to integrate the knowledge of the transformation, every human action can aquire deeper meanings, refer to the will and man's ability to decide and act.
