Laterem, Landscape and Territory

The word brick comes from the Latin "Laterem," I like to name it that way in a gesture that proposes the search in the essence of the idea of the brick, in its many layers of complexity and in the relationship that we as an individual have with said object, so common, so everyday, as the brick block.

 

This work is in some way a tribute to the material that silently builds our homes, our cities, our architecture.

 

The brick block, like ceramic pixels, transforms and constructs the urban landscape, our local landscape.

 

The material that is extracted locally as clay, shaped by humans and transformed by the power of fire into ceramics; allows us to build a new landscape with our own territory and materiality.

 

In this way, “Latermen, landscape and territory” is a dialogue between its own elements.
