Soil is our closest alien world. Strata Incognita is a trans-scalar and trans-temporal journey across the geographies that articulate soil as an agro-industrial infrastructure, but also as an ecosystem and a somatic archive of crimes, memories and myths. Landscape as archive, witness and victim of our transit, the questioning of our most primitive social network. Nature, where the memory of the world is hidden and revealed. In this environmental quest with science fiction nuances one puts forward a reflexion on the past that reappears with a vital strength, thus confirming the political strength of a landscape.
