Mapping the Air

The new exhibition Mapping the Air with works by Elisabetta Di Maggio and curated by Chiara Bertola opens at ifa Gallery Berlin on 9 February 2023.

This project revolves around the theme central of the communication networks that serve to transmit information. Elisabetta Di Maggio's works reveal the close ties that exist among webs, circuits, grids, structures, and meshes that belong to very different worlds, but are all part of the sphere in which we lead our everyday lives.

Truth rests on maps drawn in the air. It does indeed seem to be "mapping the air," so difficult to detect are the threads and circuits in which life on earth unfolds. This means everything which sustains it or which governs the activities of nature and humanity tends to be organized into pathways and networks that cannot be seen or perceived, but ultimately prove to be the key structures supporting and linking the energies and entities of the world.

Elisabetta Di Maggio’s project Mapping the Air, is thus a metaphorical reflection on our existence as parts of a whole, fragments of a natural world that, at the microcosmic and macrocosmic level, is constantly shifting and changing due to the extraordinary fecundity of its laws.
