In Mobile Landscape, the landscape is the territory, suggesting that territory is the material space (physical and psychological) that a particular species needs to ensure its survival.

What concerns me most at the moment is deterritorialization, which refers to the loss of territory, condemning you to live in undifferentiated places, where all connection with the history and memory of places is broken, where there is a territorial amnesia that can mean strangeness and deculturalization, where the territory remains as a simple support that corresponds to the needs of society.

These stones with wheels speak of reterritorialization, which is the tendency to recover and strengthen local territorial identities and values. To recover the link with history, customs, and traditions, regardless of where a person is located.

Historically, stones have been considered landmarks, places that marked something forever. The important thing now is that these landmarks move with us, instead of remaining in one place, marking a territory.

As Paul Virilio says, the drama of the landscape must be reinvented.
