This year's Tour took place between August 9 and 29, 2020, walking about 350 km from Tàrrega to the [[../../../Info/Ecosistema/Centre d'Art i Natura|Centre d'Art i Natura]] de [[../../../Territorium/Farrera|Farrera]], during which more than twenty people have participated in an alternating way. Of the 21 days of the trip, 15 were of linear displacement, 3 were dedicated to circular routes and 3 to rest. The main stages of the trip were: Tàrrega, Penelles, Balaguer, Sant Llorenç de Montgai, Les Avellanes, Àger, Barranc del Bosc (Moror), Collmorter, Tremp, Aramunt, [[../../../Territorium/La Pobla de Segur|La Pobla de Segur]], Llaràs, Montardit de Baix, Altron, Llavorsí, [[../../../Territorium/Farrera|Farrera]]. As a guest artist-in-residence, I traveled the entire route (one of the three people who completed it, along with Clara Garì and Imma Pla Rius, members of the organizing team), dedicating myself to collecting information and documenting the experience at a topographic, audiovisual and narrative level. The material generated was the raw material with which I developed the subsequent studio work. The plastic work has been developed through the map, understood here in its original sense, as described by Sebastián de Covarrubias: "Map, we call the table, canvas or paper where the universal earth is described, or particularly, it can come from mappa which means canvas or towel, and particularly the one that the Magistrates in the Circus games sent by signal for the games to commence, which was whitened or engredada, as if we say starched; because the canvas on which the earth and the sea and its parts are to be described is to be prepared in this way, they called it map and mappa mundi, and for this reason we also call these descriptions canvases, because they are on canvas" (Sebastián de Covarrubias, Tesoro de la lengua castellana or española (p. 539). Madrid, 1611). The routes, the text, the experiences and the toponyms have become the fundamental elements of a language finalized to the construction of eight maps, passing from the topographic to the conceptual and, even further, to the abstraction of the territory. Considering the journey as a metaphor of life and extending the question to the artist's work, we can thus come to consider the results of this research as experiential maps and art in its extension as a [[../../../Themarium/Cartografía/Cartografía|cartography]] of existing. ### Links - [[../Lloc, lluny, llar|Lloc, lluny, llar]] - [Marco Noris, visual artist - Lloc, lluny, llar](https://marconoris.com/lloc-lluny-llar) - [Marco Noris, visual artist - Impossible territories](https://marconoris.com/impossible-territories)
