Marco Polo tells the story of a goatherd who is stuck in the maze of the city Cecelia for years (Continuous cities):
“The paths have mingled” the goatherd said ” Cecelia is everywhere. Here, once upon a time, there must have been the Meadow of the Low Sage. My Goats recognise the grass on the traffic island.”
Invisible Cities, Italo Calvino
This artwork brings into sharp focus the pace with which villages morph into towns, and then into cities, whilst the earth recedes at each step further, and further away, from our daily life. Here, moving light, sound and smell, evoke those seemingly lost memories through multisensory experiences.
