Summer in Milan. The asphalt is of undefined texture, signed by numerous holes, craters and scratches. High heels, vespa-kickstands, café seats, scaffolding-poles and shop containers shape and re-shape the street surface. Arbitrary cutouts, reversed to full-scale negative moulds, evidence the relicts of urban frequentation in a network of paths in space and time. The three-dimensional patterns proceed beyond the reliefsā€˜ edges in an imaginary continuity, forming a new cityscape without scale.
