Terra Incognita is a site-specific, cameraless project started in the Summer of 2018, in the mountain region of Croatia. Referring to uncharted territories and relaying on entropy, Terra Incognita is a geographic investigation of the invisible that is persistent in the natural environment. The paper is placed directly onto the soil, it is covered with a stone and is exposed to environmental activities for 30 days. Traces and marks that appear on the paper are result of randomness and chance. The photographs represent the ungraspable and unknown life of the Earth, existing far from our sight.
