Curatorial Text by Sandra Pattin:

​

"Inscapes", a term used by the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins, refers to the uniqueness of each individual, to the search for one’s own inner landscape that becomes a sense of belonging. In Anna Tabellini’s installation, the landscape becomes a layered metaphor for identity: a place of construction and discovery, where the multiple dimensions of the self intertwine in a tension between exploration and belonging.

​

The artist starts from an urgency to mend fragments of identity that we often tend to define, delimit, and isolate—much like territorial borders marked by walls and barriers that separate and ultimately emphasize differences. Anna challenges this division and instead highlights integration as an essential condition for inhabiting and recognizing an identity in constant transformation.

Born in Italy but having lived in many places, Anna has deconstructed her own identity, eventually coming to see the coexistence of diverse elements as the only possible landscape—the only path to understanding and inhabiting the self.

​

Her intervention at Chiasso Perduto unfolds through two fundamental actions: on one hand, she digs into the wall to reveal hidden layers, the memories of other voices, and re-signifies them into a new sculptural landscape; on the other, she collects fragments of paper, nature, and more to construct suspended landscapes that come to resemble aerial cartographies—organic and undefined beings—serving as a metaphor for our ever-evolving sense of belonging.
