24 gouge-engraved MDF stamps, turned pine handles
Use the electronic diagrams as an allegory of the plans of our modern cities, where the main roads, crossroads and alleys are so many connections facilitating travel, in a desire for efficiency and ever faster and more organized traffic.
The idea was to deconstruct a network, to break it up, while leaving the possibility of going through it, or through them, because the possible combinations become multiple.
The electronic symbol is stretched to a pattern by symmetrical repetition of the lines. More than the reconstruction of a map, it is an invitation to walk through it, to wander in an infinite network, which can be activated during collective workshops where the stamps are used.
