for over five years, artist janaina mello landini of mello+landini has continued the ‘ciclotrama’ series. the rope-based, site specific installations are physical maps displaying an assortment of paths, movements, and fluxes. the social cartography of individual networks show the infinite interconnectedness and interdependence of personal trajectories throughout a system, society, and the world as a whole. the unwoven strands bring about images of plant roots, inner workings of the body and mind, and others. ‘ciclotrama 20 (wave)’ was exhibited at zipper galeria, in são paolo, brazil.
