Ruin as artifact

Why do buried stones of architecture exert such fascination? Why does this silence awake us? Maybe the ruins always lead us to the imaginary places of fantastic cities lost in time. Metropolis, the incommensurable space of possibility brings us, with the company of Fritz Lang and Ítalo Calvino, a journey, a kind of route 66 without beginning or end. The drawing as a glimpse, grounded on the formulation of fictitious topographies, exposes states of tension and convergence on the unconstructed surroundings between void, density and opaque. It appears as marginal landscapes which explore the memory of experience of inhabited spaces.
The unknown, the fantasy drawn in paper cities, the echoes of the Invisible Cities, as well as the poetic dimension of drawing, making the imaginary visible: it is the challenge of touching the nothingness. Therefore, we manipulate the pencil and the graphite as travel companions towards Ithaca, just like Ulysses.
