EXTREME SKETCHING

A brief film by Stefan Davidovici and Michele Favale about the extraordinary experience of sketching while climbing is available on youtube. Drawing is about understanding and reflecting through your own mind, eye and hand the reality around you. Nowhere is sketching more natural than on the alpine rock walls, amazing cathedral-like spaces that the climber perceives with the whole body.
Thanks to Michele Favale and his drone for trying to capture some of these amazing moments; to fellow climbers Claudio Sormani, Valentina De Felice and Federico Montagna for gently accepting the weird idea of me sketching while climbing together; and to Giovanni Pesce for the discussion that started all of this.
