Series of 21 photos 9x13 cm (in progress)

In the video Experiment (1: 1) simple gestures are made, linked to vague memories, which thanks to a radio program return to the surface. The story of Luigi Ghirri’s Atlante project, and Borges’s absurd idea of creating a 1: 1 scale world map, give life to a fruit with a synthetic shell. Time and waiting will be the fundamental elements to understand what will remain of this hybrid object, whose birth is closely linked to the moment before his death. The evolution is documented through a series of analog photographs and collected in a book entitled Sotto osservazione.
