Cartographies of the Invisible
Cartographies of the Invisible begins with an intuition: we are less separate from the world than our perceptions lead us to believe.
Each work seeks to make this continuity perceptible — not by representing it, but by allowing it to act through matter, tension and space.

How to see the works
biography
Johanna Fusco
For many years, I studied the relationships between living beings and their environments. As a geographer and researcher, I spent more than a decade working on the links between land use and biodiversity.
Then I felt the need to know differently — without standing outside. I left research to return to matter, gesture and slower forms of time.
From this shift emerged Cartographies de l’Invisible.
practice
What appears
is only the surface.
Each work begins with materials already carrying a history, colours drawn from plants, fungi or earth, and slow gestures that transform without erasing.
Matter, gesture and time remain present in the work.
The living world is not represented in the work. It is made from it.
Living with a work
Light passes through the fibres, revealing some materials and letting others recede.
The work changes with the hour, the distance, the movement.
Some works from Cartographies de l’Invisible are currently available for acquisition.

SITE-SPECIFIC WORKS
A work can also begin
with a space.
I create wall-based works, polyptychs, suspended pieces and installations in dialogue with the architecture of a place.
Scale, material, transparency, rhythm and colour are shaped by the space, its light and the way it is lived in.
Each project gives rise to an original work.
