Roma versus Carthagonova

 

From 2004 to 2006 I have been creating, retrieving, projecting and appropriating images that create a dialogue between the opposing shores of the Mediterranean sea, the Spanish and the Italian one. A mirror of reflection between Spain and Italy, that meant business and social ways, a history of ports and ships, trade, differences and similarities.

They were the rests of the antique packings of oil and wine; fragments of sea salt and land.

ROMA VERSUS CARTHAGONOVA: ARQUEOLOGÍA DE LA MEMORIA

Wendy Navarro


 

The journey obsession, the constant “tracking” of areas, manipulating its enclaves - historical, visual- remembering that childhood mine, as a way of approaching to oneself, is often a necessary and recurrent eagerness to provide evidence. Different interpretations of the world that would let “see further”, reveal links, hidden and unexplorated ways.
