Description
Original India ink drawing on antique cartographic support. (Unique piece).
The work uses a nautical chart describing the seabed of the Riviera, from Monaco to San Lorenzo, as its support. (Original map) The India ink intervention focuses on the appearance of an artificial reef: a monolithic, submerged mass, foreign to the cartographic drawing.
The rendering is intentionally technical, almost industrial. The India ink does not seek to evoke the fluidity of water, but to assert the rigidity of the concrete and the weight of the structure. The reef, produced by heavy human processes, no longer appears as a sanctuary for biodiversity, but as a form of underwater occupation, a lasting marking of the seabed.
The contrast between the precision of the map's contour lines and the brutality of the drawn mass accentuates the intrusive nature of coastal development. The map ceases to be a navigation tool and becomes the blueprint for an invisible intervention, already accomplished.
