Future Landslides
"Past - Present - Future"
Liguria is an impervious region, caught between the mountains and the sea. A network of deep valleys carved by streams flowing onto rocky coasts. Steep slopes collapse and wash out into the water. The Landslide has always permeated this territory; it is its natural geological - and ontological - conformation. Those who live here tenaciously oppose the slipping away of the soil, working in a way that takes the form of care, but also of forcing the balance. Two forces that meet and shape each other: one pulling down, the other clinging and trying to resist. Terracing after terracing, stone after stone, the landscape becomes an immense deposit of fatigue: human fatigue, animal fatigue, the fatigue of the roots that dig up the arid earth and break the walls, or hold them together; the fatigue of the stone, crushed between meanders and formations destined for infinite reshuffling.
