Radicamenti is a reflection on nature as a subject of rights, as a legal entity at the heart of the Charter of Landscape Rights.

Radicamenti that grow out of the page, expanding into space, inhabiting ideas, time, destinies, and promises.
Radicamenti is a thread of hope, tangled and twisted with courage and necessity.
It is an anarchic conduit of despair and lightness, a system of fluid, mobile proliferation.
Radicamenti is an emergence of inner life, manifested as material existence.
One hundred meters of sewing thread, one hundred meters of roots sprouting from the pages, binding together the blank spaces, and finally breaking free from the paper.
A colony of unstoppable resistance, Radicamenti inhabits a hybrid and potential reality.
The two sides engage in dialogue within a condition of ambivalence, centred on the proof of existence.
Radicamenti is a mutating thread of (future) rooted memory.
