The
rivers, arteries of the Earth, constantly evolving and in perpetual
movement, are made subject to a sort of "snapshot" of their
configuration at a given time. Through the immersion of a cloth into
the river, making it adhere to the bottom and then pouring a black
pigment into the water in order to follow the flow until it deposits
on the bottom and along the banks, is created an immediate ‘imprint’
of the river. That specific event, that bears witness of a precise
moment "captured" by an "imprint", becomes a "living piece" of Earth, transliterated from reality to abstraction as if charting
an "instant"; to unfold a vision rather than a fleeting
sensation.
