"Disiecta Membra" Installazione

The idea of the installation “Disiecta Membra” comes from the end of an artisic cycle lasting 10 years. Gaetano Cammarata chooses to transform each one in an artistic creation, to give the possibility to whoever of becoming immortal, to transmit something of himself so to not be forgotten. Until now, two hundred people have been immortalized by participating in the piece. Four hundred snaps to stop an image, an age, a souvenir. A time destined to pass, an image that will not change, and a lock of hair remaining to testify the presence of who was there. It’s not sanctification of a person, but a cry to eternity: the person is photographed, the image is frozen, the date of birth is attested, a time, a start. The lock of hair confirms that to be true and it will stand a witness to the centuries that the photographed person is real, has lived, thought, left an imprint on earth. It’s an inscription: “alive.” Because in art, we are all alive just as those who have preceded us, and that we rediscover in the rooms of relics from where this installation got started. “Disiecta Membra” is a glance at eternity. Yours.
