About This Book
I came to Cosenza with the idea, still not completely defined, to somehow draw a line from the Swabian Castle to the river. I did not know the modern part of the city, so during my morning exploratory walks through the city, I found many inspirations right there, and I slowly developed a new idea. Now I realize minimal linear interventions in the urban space. First of all I created for this purpose, in my studio ?Box? the line, a rope 15 m long consisting of wire and strips of cotton fabric, which had to be irregular, like a drawn line that thickens and dilutes, sometimes delicate and visible only with a sharp eye. 0In the early hours of every day I go with my line in my backpack for about 10 km. The physical crossing of the city is equally important to me in this project. I go following my thoughts, at random and so I meet the places where I intervene randomly. There I stretch my cross line, in a zigzag, sometimes in parallel. It is an action that is always very fast and followed by taking photos. 0This action can only take place in the morning hours, because after 10 am it is too hot in the streets?.
