Physical description 1 volume (unpaged) : illustrations ; 24 cm
Notes "I made many trips and took photographs of the soil, the rocks, the trees, etc ... and then, using these images as a starting point, I made images through my process of 'digital painting' ... The book is also physically punched by holes that change their position and evoke the constellation of the Southern Cross in the Australian night sky."--Artist's statement
Accompanying the images is a collection of ten poems, in Italian and English, written by various Australian authors.
Limited ed. of 1000 copies.

Summary "Terra Australia is an artist's book made of holes, stones and water, soil and air, traversed by time and pervaded by melancholy. Every page opens on the edge of a measured visual abyss where the invitation to venture through deep and impenetrable matter is both dangerous and real. Beyond the cold geography and frigid geometry it evokes, Terra Australia is an art work for geographers of inwardness. It is a work apparently engaged with on the surface -- but it is an art owrk pervaded by a silent darkness in which something endless is hidden, or escapes the eyes."--Front cover verso
