Tractus

Francesca Roncato- IED Milano -Master's Program in Visual Arts

Academic year

2023/2024

Last September 2024 the spaces of DiD Studio hosted the collective exhibition of the Master in Visual Arts. The six projects on display are born from the request to explore physical space, specifically to think of the book as a three-dimensional space. The works investigate the possibilities and limits of new technologies, as tools for developing a personal audiovisual language, capable of affecting imaginaries and perceptions of reality.

Tractus is the Latin definition for stretch, strip, sulcus also understood as a time arc in a path by slow but continuous movement. Tractus is an installation that reflects and explores the seemingly drifting trajectories of a rocky celestial body. A personal reflection on the influence of distant presences seemingly insignificant for our daily life as the orbit of an asteroid. The work explores that subtle balance between the rigour of scientific measurement and amateur or empirical observation and analysis.
