Abstract
The artistic investigation conducted by Bianco-Valente (Giovanna Bianco and Pino Valente) explores the relationship between human beings and landscape in its social and cultural sense, analysing the relational contexts and the possibilities offered by the interaction of these factors. The artists’ manner of seeing identifies completely with the objects they are studying, becoming physical and tangible. It transforms information observed into concrete results, fostering new points of view.
As if out of a sense of obligation, with Terra di Me, Bianco-Valente attempts to re-examine the concept of boundaries, going beyond it and transforming it into what will be an exciting exchange of experiences with a group of men and women, residents like them of southern Italy, who spontaneously and generously have agreed to share their life stories and their hopes and fears for the future.
