What’s your idea of a natural place? Starting from this question, addressed to a heterogeneous audience, of different ages, professions and nationalities, Claudia Losi has put together Being There. Oltre il giardino (Beyond the Garden), the last chapter of a twenty-year-long research project focusing on that interweaving of meaning, perception and memory that humans deploy when looking at the world. In conducting her investigation, Losi hybridizes sociological-scientific language with artistic language, translating the many responses to her question (about four hundred, collected through an open call and a series of seminars) into images and drawings woven on an 18-meter tapestry. The work graphically synthesizes the contributions collected during the various stages of the research, constituting a visual diary between word and drawing. This book brings together a series of traces in the form of textual contributions, drawings and photographic documentation of the journeys and works that made up the project. Texts by Giorgio Vallortigara, Mauro Sargiani, Ugo Morelli, Riccardo Komesar, Cesare Raimondi, Gioia Laura Iannilli, Alice Benessia.
