esercizio di perdizione n°1

‘esercizio di perdizione n°1’ (exercise in getting lost n°1) is the first chapter of a body of work that explores the possibility of losing oneself on purpose within a specific geographical area. The practice of getting lost is here understood as a necessary condition to regain new equilibrium through practices of self-discovery and reconnection. It is a dialogue between who we are, what we see, what we feel, and the environment that surrounds us. It is walking guided by the space that you are traversing, allowing oneself to be carried by the sounds and the available pathways without rational conditioning. It is feeling and perceiving the visible and invisible forms of the forest and to discover, through the practice of walking, new ways of entering in relationship with the surroundings. It is being mutable shapes: the Living that manifests itself.

The series unfolds in the northern area of “Park of San Rossore, Massaciuccoli and Migliarino”, a 24,000 hectares protected Natural Reserve with an ancient planitial forest that survived deforestation, within which the practice of walking and getting lost becomes a return to the authentic, passing through a re-activation of ancestral instincts.
