Every ruin is a way with no return

Drawings | Alessandro Carboni
Production | 1998
Materials | Graphite, oil pastel, marker, and eraser on paper

Every ruin is a way with no return is a series of three drawings that evoke nocturnal landscapes suspended between memory and absence. Using black graphite, erasures, and dense marks, the artist constructs informal visions crossed by geometric transparencies that recall emptied buildings, wrecks, remnants of cities. The dark traces become fragments of an inner landscape, where the line oscillates between gesture and erasure, presence and loss. Each ruin transforms into an irreversible passage: not a return, but a path that opens to uncertainty, to the echo of places that can no longer return to what they once were
