Il cielo capovolto

english / italiano

photography | archival print/Hahnemuhle Paper | photographies variable size | vintage photography + documents + postcard 10x15cm | edition of 3 | 2020

The acute desire to return to a desired condition; social distancing, physical distancing. In close contact.
Voluntary isolation, fiduciary home quarantine.
The need for the other and, at the same time, the fear of the other. The fear of illness, the fear of guilt, the fear of inefficiency. Inadequacy, the loneliness of life and of death.
The time of the silence of waiting. The rediscovery of the ordinary gesture; the repetition of the ordinary.
Information as a fundamental resource of democratic life and also of power; truth and fiction.
Cops and robbers. The quarantine.

Visual notes. A collection of archive images and new images, in a continuous dialogue between past and present, between desire and rejection, during Covid-19.

Selected for the RaccontoPlurale project of the Fondazione per l'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea - CRT, curated by Francesca Comisso, Olga Gambari, Luisa Perlo and TAG Torino Art Galleries
