RnS, Rovine nella selva (2023).

This just-completed series is the culmination of a work I have revisited several times in recent years (2016, 2022). The hiking maps previously used as a background were replaced by military maps. A striking addition is the phrase “Et in Arcadia Ego” (Guercino, Poussin) spelled out in a succession of red fluorescent letters.
For the short text (Italian) accompanying the work in its entirety, see:
Rovine nella selva 2022.
This series follows an earlier one (2016-2017), which features sites in the same region (Tuscia, Latium) and plays with the relationship between image and text, and specifically Dante Alighieri’s Purgatorio XXVIII (“dentro alla selva antica…”):
