Aichi Triennale

Elena Damiani uses the disciplines of geology, geography, cartography, archaeology, and astronomy to reinterpret such categorizations and our understanding of the physical world. Her works propose alternative readings of geological time, history, and the human classification of evidence. Her practice reveals a search to understand how structures that obey a magnitude greater than the brief passage of man on Earth are composed and function. This search formulates a series of explorations that seek to reinterpret various stages and natural processes by confronting us with the idea we have of the world in which we live.
