Mindscapes

We are born temporarily, somewhere, and little by little we build in us the place of our origins, to be born later again and every day more definitively. Our mind meets the landscape everywhere. It does not belong to us, yet it is personal. We build it while we walk through it with our body and our history, in that continuity between inner space and outer space which trespasses our skin. There are places that we recognise before they existed. 

PROJECT

Started in 2018, M I N D S C A P E S is an ongoing study about human vision - in a physiological and a metaphysical sense - and the perception of the internal and external environments that we inhabit. Architecture is located in non-existent yet plausible places. The subtle disproportion between monuments and landscape shows a surrealism that is only vaguely hinted at to create an atmosphere of suspension. Every mindscape is a vision. Every image is the sum of the meticulous stratification of different geographies. The study is divided into Chapters. Chapter One was produced between 2018 and 2019, when the artist relocated to her hometown after twenty years in China. Errante revisited the places of her childhood, and reflected upon the unspoken pact of identity between man and land. Chapter Two was produced between 2019 and 2020 in Tresigallo, metaphysical city, and focuses on individual and collective memory. The thread of the whole body of work is the interaction between inner and man-made landscapes.
