The series Loc. Collecchio, 26 and 20.12.53-10.08.04 come from the need of analyzing two very important changes in my life: the radical restructuring of the house in which I was born and the death of my mother.
Loc. Collecchio, 26 is a project realized through the cardboard reconstruction of the four main rooms of my family home. In addition to furniture and objects to which I am linked, the environments are inhabited by many photographic portraits of me, in different ages, that my mother took inside the house. The work is, therefore, a greeting and a homage to the house that saw me grow.
20.12.53-10.08.04 arises, however, from the need to enter in all the photos in which my mother is portrayed and where I, originally, was absent. I included myself, as precisely as possible, to make plausible my dream of being able to stand once more next to her in order to recover the lost time and to protect her.
In both cases, I made a personal family album but while in the first series I reinterpreted the portraits that my mother shot of me at various ages and I repopulated the environments with the overlapping of many memories, in the second one I entered my mother’s past creating a dialogue, a sort of collision between past and present time in which my memory of that particular time did not exist.
