Unstable Territory
The project explores the complex relationship between the land and its seismic nature, highlighting how human activity and local geology interact in unpredictable ways. Basilicata, a region characterized by significant seismic instability due to the presence of active faults such as the Montemurro fault, is an emblematic example of how natural forces can shape the morphology of the landscape and, at the same time, how human intervention can alter these balances.
The project investigates how industrial practices, particularly those related to extraction and modifications of the underground, can contribute to triggering or amplifying seismic phenomena. It is not just an examination of the immediate causes of earthquakes, but a broader reflection on how our actions, often driven by an idea of progress and control, can have direct repercussions on the natural integrity of the land.
Seismic dynamics, in the context of the project, are not seen only as uncontrollable natural events, but as a complex system that reveals the fragility of the landscape and its response to external pressures, both human and natural. The project raises important questions about the relationship between man and nature, challenging the traditional view of a natural world that can be manipulated without consequences. How does the land respond to our presence, and what happens when the land itself, in its seismic nature, rebels against man?
