Reconnecting the geometry of the journey

This project is about a peculiar journey in which the crucial aim is not necessarily to arrive the final destination but to record and describe the experiences of journey by the observer. In other words, the most relevant aspect of this journey is the information being “experienced” by observer before reaching the arrival per se, in Stone Circle, a historical site located in Oxfordshire(UK). The main interest of this work is the interaction between people and environment, and how people perceive the world where they live. People can smell, see, touch, and listen, when they live in certain environment. The interesting issues are: what other forms of interaction with the environment would remain? What kind of conversation would exist between observers and objects? The journey made by images focuses on the shadow of objects and the image of a place that is used, touched, walked, and seen. The series of photographs are arranged according to time-and-space intervals. The photographs are the trace, the footprints, and a specific interpretation of parts of the journey.
