In the contemporary world, the imbalances in the relationship between
man and Nature are beginning to have devastating effects. In wildness
is the salvation of the world, wrote H.D. Thoreau, there is, therefore, an
urgent need to rediscover a new ecological consciousness in response to
the anthropocentric vision that has designed modernity. The series, still in
progress, is a personal visual diary of a “traversing” of the central Italian
Apennines between the territories of Umbria, Abruzzo, Lazio, and Marche.
Walking and crossing territories as a method to regain the true meaning of
nature, and to rethink man and the environment as a single complex organism.
