By Andrea Aschedamini and Davide Sapienza

“Threethousandkilometres - handmade” is a meeting. It is the meeting between everyday life and thirst for exploration, travel, and landscapes of photographer Andrea Aschedamini - a meeting of two men looking at the same landscape, with each one using his best skills to make sense of the journey.

Threethousandkilometres handmade is the offspring of a journey through British Columbia, Canada and it represents a personal way to share a tale of “threethousandkilometres” – a mileage in and around the roads and motorways of Milan – when working in Italy for Andrea - and “threethousandkilometres” spent during two weeks in Canada through prairies, forests, national parks, glaciers, hills, the wine country, wild and little known valleys.

And here is the link with author and journalist Davide Sapienza: a link representing the joining of two friends travelling together – the one with a camera, the other with a pen – both with their own hands to create a “handmade” work so unique for all purposes, contents and method.

The idea. Andrea and Davide wanted to put across the sense created when space and time are in suspension, where everything between the ordinary and the adventure lies.
The making. It was performed on the same grounds – and this is why Aschedamini used black and white for the Milano mileage, setting in colour the Canadian mileage, while Sapienza laid word prints – handmade, with his pen – of a story going in and out and around the illustrations.

In the end – who can deny to have run hers or his handamade “threethousandkilometres” in their own life?
