Artworks / walking through memories

site specific installation (plaster casts + lead plates) by Marco Lamanna + Francesca Crocetti

A series of plaster casts of the feet of a woman who, progressively, advance in the act of walking by taking a direction. As you go back with the number of pieces the casts are destroyed, gradually adopting a different size: from the archaeological find until to be reduced to a small pile of rubble at the beginning of the path (the farthest point). The main theme of the work is the memory, in particular the loss in time, represented by the path forward of the more distant memories that, if not properly preserved, will be reduced to dust, incomprehensible and useless for the reconstruction of a collective memory
