MAPPING

Art & Walking as lands learn experience.

Mapping, is a container divided by severals art project, focus on walking and perception of
landscapes. Walking is empirical form of discovering spaces, measuring with the land and
analysis of time. Perception is an exercise to stimulate the imagination, the faculty to think what is
still not exist or changing the existent.
The landscapes is the wild space where atmosphere and natural phenomena change
radically lands aspect, over the time; it is also a wild territory where people operate,
activate and generate stories within. In turn, every land becomes unique storyteller.
Mapping project is based on the relationship between two words: Now and Here and the
juxtaposition of them in the word NowHere. Most of Mapping project start from the
verification of atmosphere and social datas, topography and geography shape.
Formally, Mapping, consist of photographies projects, films and magazine. The formal aspect
centrality is made by images. The image (static or movie) is the major landscapes storyteller. In the
movies, works is completed by soundscapes, both help audience to be part of the stories.
Mapping project start from the living on uncertainty path, in a constantly changing and adapting
to living on severals places. By this way, art research becomes a fix pointor Everything in its right
place or a black hole re-fill by experience done and income.
The Mapping project goal is re-design a visual map of landscapes from experience point of view
in order to analyze landscapes and communities.

This is a film about William Blakes Jerusalem (And did those feet in ancient
time) revisited in personal and contemporary key.
The poem was inspired by the apocryphal story that a young Jesus, accompanied by
his uncle Joseph of Arimathea, a tin merchant, travelled to what is now England and
visited Glastonbury during the unknown years of Jesus. The legend describing a Second Coming, wherein Jesus establishes a new Jerusalem. Jerusalem is a metaphor for
Heaven, a place of universal love and peace.

A mountain is still eating by human being.
At the time of the financial crunch, Human being are planning to destory
a mountain in order to
create spaces for new estates, housing and spaces for leisure time
activities. This video is a potrait of the mountain before its passing. It
also describes the conflict between the massive and sublime features
of the nature and human intervention over the enviroment. In the film,
the images of quarry, highlight the human inner conflict between the
consumption of the mountain, building a quarry, and a the some time
the shame of his action, hiding it by trees and fake garden. Catherin
Wheel is the name of the acrobat fly by paraglinding at the end of the
