Invisible cities/Le mie

2011

Originally inspired by a reading of Italo Calvino “Invisible cities” I began working on a project loosely based on it.  Soon the book became for me an object of study and aesthetic interest and I started looking for signs of the “Invisible cities” around me, in the New York area and particularly in the city of Brooklyn.

I have tried to remove weight, sometimes from people, sometimes from heavenly bodies, sometimes from cities, writes Calvino.Above all I have tried to remove weight from the structure of stories and from language. This idea of pursuing lightness inspired me deeply in the making of this series.
