Archtizer Drawing Of The Year 2021 top 100
In his own words, Macro polo says “The traveler’s past changes according to the route he has followed: not the immediate past, but the more remote past.”
This drawing is a visual journey depicting a passage of italo calvino’s Invisible Cities, through an exploration of different architypes as described in the narrative of his journey. Arriving at each new city, the traveler finds again a past of his that he did not know he had: the foreignness of what man no longer are or no longer possesses lies in wait for man in foreign, unpossessed places. the people who move through the streets are all strangers. At each encounter, they imagine a thousand things about one another; meetings which could take place between them, conversations, surprises, caresses, bites. But no one greets anyone; eyes lock for a second, then dart away, seeking other eyes, never stopping...something runs among them, an exchange of glances like lines that connect one figure with another and draw arrows, stars, triangles, until all combinations are used up in a moment, and other characters come on to the scene.
