Lunedì 22 febbraio 2021 – Parking

La preparazione della mostra Open Space nel 2019 era stato un momento molto significativo per il mio percorso artistico, perché venivo dall’esperienza di opere sul tema della linea d’orizzonte della riviera adriatica e mi chiedevo come potere continuare ed esplorare questo mondo della linea.
