Ad un passo da me stesso ( Kintsugi and other)
In 2013 I made a small format work called "Kintsugi". The work, placed on the wall by means of spacers, without frame and without support, was conceived as the image of a fragile re-composition.
It was based on the investigation of the relationships between abandoned places, photographic images and drawing.
The work, apparent from the title, recalled the ancient Japanese practice: the precious reunion existing between fracture and new life, between scars and renewed beauty.
An event, happened to me a few months ago, somehow brings me back to that image and the concept of resilience: when my parents' house was freed from its furniture to make room for a private office, but subsequently, due to a serious accident occurred to the aspiring tenant, it remained empty and available again. At first, that situation caused me a negative note, but after some time, I decided to transform the domestic space, in a sort of base-floor, which would allow me to be able to deploy a narrative, the multiple reissue of Kintsugi.
The images of this series cross the spatial shift between the inside and the outside, perhaps referring to the staging of myself.
