A line through Fontebranda

Fontebranda, where the line is born

The Fontebranda Gate remains one of the portals in the medieval Walls of Siena. It is located on via di Fontebranda, in Siena, region of Tuscan, Italy.

1255 saw the creation of the brick and stone gate in the new walls. It also originally had an outside antiporta, no longer extant. One of the main western entrances to the city, it stands near Fontebranda, one of Siena’s medieval fountains.

It all begins with one spot.
Then the line is born.

The line is my way to Porta Fontebranda. Approaching the site, you can feel all the years that have passed since the gate’s addition. You can notice space and time, words and shapes. This pattern creates a special aura.

For my point of entry I decided to use black and white , lines and shapes, images and sounds in order to make you feel this kind of energy.
