MATERIA IN ITINERE
Witness to Change
The forms of matter pass through time, changing in function and meaning while preserving the traces of the process that gave rise to them. What endures is not necessarily immutable: it is matter that continues to exist through change.
Materia in Itinere explores this relationship through the figure of the windmill. A product of human ingenuity, the windmill emerges from the encounter between matter and nature: a structure designed to harness an invisible force and transform it into energy. Its form bears witness to a way of thinking that translated a natural possibility into a practical function.
Through photographic subtraction and transformation, the windmills are stripped of the geographical and temporal references that define their presence. The structures emerge within a suspended dimension, where they can no longer be assigned a precise location in space or time. Matter thus becomes a testimony to a process of transformation that unfolds across both dimensions.
In Materia in Itinere, form is not merely what endures, but the visible trace of a journey. Matter passes through time and space, transforming and continuing to manifest itself beyond the references that once defined its presence.
