Tunnel, (Archive, vol. C) - Paola Boscaini & Cristina Materassi
The third publication "Tunnel" showcases the research of the artist Gianlorenzo Nardi and Tommaso Silvestroni.
"Descending into such a vast and understated space made me think of the city above as a grand organ that dreams and thinks, and to sustain this activity, it constantly requires cooling from underground waters. Everything is functional, converging towards the direction of the drains through pipes leading to the large tunnels. The tunnels are infrastructures that were originally open channels; I tried to imagine some barges arriving laden with materials. I pondered on modernity, which, by transforming, leaves behind something enigmatic and paradoxical, akin to the image of a navigable city where only rusted mechanisms, steadfast bulkheads, and shallow spans of water remain."
"Corrispondenze is an artistic and editorial project founded in Turin in 2021 by Paola Boscaini and Cristina Materassi. It is driven by a shared interest in exploring the theme of dwelling through collective inquiry. Through practices of encounter and participation, Corrispondenze fosters shared reflection and investigation, exploring diverse perspectives on dwelling and transforming them into dynamic spaces for exchange, dialogue, and creation.
Since 2022, Corrispondenze has also evolved into an editorial project, conceived as a paper-based space for action: a dynamic platform for relationships and archiving in constant evolution. The main research focus for 2024 centres on the connection between dwelling and archiving, culminating in a limited-edition publication of five volumes, released from January to September 2024. ""Archive"" aims to explore the actions of researching, collecting, and archiving in our time, and how these activities are interconnected with how we perceive and represent the spaces we inhabit. By amalgamating personal research, collective projects, and spatial investigations, this publication encourages the exploration of intimate and personal perspectives, serving as a starting point for examining pressing issues of our time.
