‘Viaggi che scrivono mappe’ is a work initiated by the artist while traveling. Its inspiration started while observing, almost by chance, the floor of a train where the liquid trails left by a spilled beer can, created random patterns, similar to the ones of the pathways drawn on city maps.

In the same way, the artist lets coffee, the quintessential travel beverage, slip by, documenting her travels on blank sheets of paper, which thus become maps.

This time it is not the traveler who follows the map, but the map that creates itself, following the traveler.

For the GOG exhibition, the artist selected 3 different compositions of the series, that have been created while driving in the city of Trento by car.
