A mari usque ad mare :: people

A mari usque ad mare is a challenge that tells the contemporary of a Mediterranean in permanent osmosis, a dense area of boundaries and political geographies still in motion, of which we know the representations offered in time by the construction of the Other, hence the Other and the enemy. Dynamics that have marked the long history of peoples overlook the many shores by tracing from time to time more geographies, cutting down and raising barriers built by the fear of hatred. A sea full of lands and peoples: a plural reality that over the centuries has recorded almost unmatched intensity compared to other geographic areas of the planet, conflicts, scrambling, flattening, cultural exchanges, trade, clashes and encounters of civilizations, myths and mythologies. These images have been selected from past journeys and represent only a small part of a larger project in which many more will be introduced with different declinations and new digital images to emphasize the dynamism but also the staticity of this sea and its boundaries.
