ENG        Benedetta Ferrari is an Italian visual designer and researcher. Through editorial practices, moving images, and image-based installations, she explores the relationship between forms of knowledge production, territories, and sensing infrastructures. During her MA in Information Design at Design Academy Eindhoven, she deepened her interest in environmental thinking and visual culture, researching how landscapes—especially alpine and high-altitude territories—are represented, exploited, measured, and imagined. 

ITA         Benedetta Ferrari è una designer e ricercatrice italiana. Attraverso pratiche editoriali, installative e di filmmaking, esplora la relazione tra pensiero ambientale e cultura visiva. Consolidata durante la magistrale presso la Design Academy Eindhoven, la sua pratica analizza la percezione sociale, culturale e scientifica degli ambienti montani, indagando come i paesaggi alpini e d’alta quota vengano rappresentati, misurati, sfruttati e immaginati.

Situated between cultural geography and media studies, this research analyzes the dual significance of mountains as tools for the encounter with the cosmos—as metaphysical axes connecting the terrestrial to the otherworldly and as scientific instruments enabling clearer observations of celestial bodies.
            Perceived as places of connection between the terrestrial and the cosmic, between the visible and the invisible, mountains seem to have the power to shape human experience and anchor imagination, helping spatialize invisibilities and concretize cosmic visions. Through case studies from the Alpine arc during the Enlightenment, the contested site of Mauna Kea, and the Gran Sasso National Laboratory, this work explores the historical evolution of mountains in relation to cosmological inquiry across diverse geographies, cultures, and time spans.
