Cosimo Terlizzi, dal giardino – riconciliarsi con il selvatico, 2024

A book on living the countryside, starting from observation, from the desire to support, reinterpret and facilitate the natural processes of creating new ecosystems. The story of a research born from feeling, from the need to rediscover the possibility of a relationship between species in a man-made countryside devoted to production.
Cosimo Terlizzi’s texts alternate with photographs of Lamia Santolina’s garden in the making and of the other spaces in which the research proceeds.

“I had to dirty that clean floor that had become the ground, uncover it, find meaning in that industrial layout that had become the Apulian countryside. I had to start doing it around the house. From the garden.”
