Ghitti: Maps/Mapping

Essays by Claudio Cerritelli, Margareth Morton, Franco Fonatti and Fausto Lorenzi.
Published by Charta

Intrigued by the Mappa di Bedolina, a famous Valcamonica rock painting, Franca Ghitti undertook the creation of imaginary and poetic topologies. Using different pieces of wood juxtaposed with iron, sand and carpenters' scraps, she copied the prehistoric model of the rock painting, inspired in part by the title of an article by Italo Calvino.

Her sculptural gestures reassemble scattered elements into a sort of discourse, as if they were fragmented words; her installations transform geometric space into historical space, deposit and archive.
