il senso del luogo

The place is different from the space: the first is made of relationships and interactions while the second is a container. We can weave a relationship with space - triggering an action / response mechanism - and transform it into a place full of stimuli generated by physical and abstract actions such as thought. The intangible response that a place generates in the person is like a channel through which it crosses the individual.
The place, therefore, can be inhabited and can inhabit humans.
This work has been made during the lockdown with images of deserted cities like Rome, Paris and London.
I created this work by imagining deserted places as if they were matter that passes through the thought of an individual, as if the desire to go out and travel were something tangible and necessary.
