We have adopted an ethnographic-empirical method by carrying out on-site visits. Therefore, we autonomously adopted and used a method combining direct contact with main contemporary art institutions in the respective countries and information provided by the artists we met.
Thanks to these contacts we were able to establish lasting relations with some of these artists and representatives of cultural institutions. We collected a large quantity of cultural materials: books, art catalogues, art videos provided by artists and institutions, photos, travel diaries, video interviews, videos of landscapes and architecture and videos of contemporary art sites shot by ourselves.
