I named this work In Scale to immediately evoke its interpretation. Scale is a convention used to record and to identify the actual size of an object, its spatial dimensions; it is the medium through which one can shift from the drawing board to the phase of construction, or conversely, bring the physical world down to the size of a graph. Scale thus indicates difference. In this three-dimensional atlas, Italy [the amusement parl, Italia in Miniatura, in Rimini] is brought down to scale, as a set of monuments, mountains, ruins, squares, churches and lakes. […] The celebration of myths, historical sites and famous landmarks creates a sense of growing folly – the paradox of seeing everything at the same time, of the gaze ripping through historical eras and geographical distances alike.
