DESCRIPTION
“Detour” is a set of drawings that aim to reflect on the act of walking, landscape, nature, body and movement. Based on the act of walking as the first and most primitive form of travel, we think walking after walking.
The project is based on a series of hikes made over several years, going through marked and unmarked trails, pilgrimage routes, nature trails and wanderings in the city.
The drawing becomes an extension of the path and allows the re-ac-tivation of memories, the citation of moments and the creation of im-agined post-paths by those who see the images a posteriori.
The detour is a change of direction and mixes real with mental landscapes. It started on graphite and uses collage and found-paper to create overlapping narratives to the initial memory.
