The way of the worlds

GPS, cartography… What if we attempted to capture geography and space in a way that does not obey these “objective” norms, but which passes through a more personal and subjective experience of the world? Perhaps a bit like the Aborigines in Australia…
Their songlines, or dreaming tracks composed of words and musical notation, offer a more invisible, mobile, “pluriverse” geography that engages all the senses.
Unlike our Western, closed, conception of space to be mastered and measured, these lines present a possible world that is manifold.
Runo Lagomarsino, an Italo-Argentino-Swedish artist residing in Brazil, makes this fundamental question resonate among the walls of FRAC at the risk of unsettling our field of view grown too accustomed to the straight lines of the cartographic perspective.
We invite you to explore this unstable, hybrid in-between through the experience of the body, and to discover age-old cultures of native peoples and the extraordinary journeys of artists in search for human spaces and cultural interactions.
