This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
The periphery is present in the distance, somehow the periphery finds its identity from the periphery. When the place of origin is out of reach, between signs of strangeness and marks of a foreign place, in a constant tension between “being and not being there”.
Travel, which makes the origin tangible, in a portable dimension of the landscape and its roots even in the distance. The trip implies a fixed point, from which it emerges and from there the "being in transit" becomes a primordial state of leaving and looking for a home.
The body becomes an intermediary of this space "in transit", the only constant territory, as an object that absorbs, adopting foam in constant transformation and flow. Foam that becomes tidal, goes, collects, returns, and from there as a loop, generating ties with the origin.
