Frammenti Berlinesi

Produced between 2016 and 2018 during the construction of a multi-level, prefabricated timber residential building I built in Berlin. The drawings represent an archaeological retrospective investigation of the world of forms that influenced my education (which occurred a quarter of a century earlier), a world that became legible with the construction.

La città celeste

Produced mostly on August 19, 2018 on the pages of a newspaper purchased a week earlier and a few hours before the death of my father whose private funeral took place while the Morandi bridge in Genoa was collapsing, a bridge on which I had driven two weeks earlier and which had then appeared ripe for the collapse that actually took place. The drawings represent an unconscious attempt at accompanying his last journey through collages of projects accumulated during previous years. Projects he was not given the time to ‘see’ due to the terrible illness that struck him so severely.

L'anticittà che viene

Produced in the summer of 2019 after a protracted study trip to the Indochinese peninsula. It gathers visual notes on the conurbations of that part of the world which appeared like post litteram materialisations of 2019 Los Angeles, namely the dystopian landscape described with stunning prescience by Ridley Scott in Blade Runner some 40 years earlier (1982). it is the very same landscape that precipitated on the shoulders of the entire world the following year with COVID-19.
