Our work explores the phenomenologies of the earthquake. However, it must be clarified that we consider the earthquake not so much as a single seismic event, of limited duration yet possessing devastating destructive power, but rather as a spatial condition which, originating from this clearly identifiable moment, then extends through time for a period that is not as easily definable. The assumption we put forward is that the earthquake is actually a space – understood, clearly, not in the sense of a geometric-physical extension – that can be inhabited and which, like all lived spaces, establishes a resonance with the subjects who encounter it. Inevitably, this resonance is conditioned by the catastrophic root of the seismic event which, even after the tremors have ended, remains permanently impressed, like a shadow that lingers even when the object that generated it is no longer present.
