Walks: Lungo la Linea

From “Villaggio Falck” to former “Marelli”, a line connects Milan with Sesto San Giovanni, running through paths of history, work, life, repeatedly altered by social, cultural and landscape changes. A line that has been travelled and metaphorically followed by thousands of workers, from town and country, along lifes strongly linked to a territory that was neither the one nor the other thing. Here the industrial production has left marks that can be more or less evident.

In a long period of changes, new spaces have taken shape and substance, acquired new meanings, they are now places with no more connections with those who live there. Along the line of time, past, present and future blend together, generating a reality that confuses different temporal levels, but at the same time traces ties and connections.
