While I was working on the exhibition A View from Above, Francesco Ragazzi invited me to contribute with an essay to the upcoming issue of the academic magazine JoLMA, published by Foscari University Press and focused on The Art of Mapping Between Land and Mind. The essay, which offered me the opportunity to extend my research beyond the limits of the exhibition, is now available in open access. Check it out!
