Aim in Time is a long-time project developed without nor obligations or constrictions. Just a few analog rolls per year, two maximum. The first shots were taken in 1999, the last ones in 2017.
The visual research of Enrica Magnolini originates from the fascination for the work of Francesca Woodman, randomly discovered at the end of the 90s with the volume Providence Roma New York, still pretty unknown in those years, if compared to the actual acclamation surrounding the work of the American photographer. Enrica was struck by Woodman shots because of the clear and substansial possibility to communicate one-self. She perceived, and at once loved, the expressive strenght which all those images can evoke: their meaning of intrusion in the existensial and autobiographical work of the subject. She was seized by Woodman's freedom of showing herself so intimately and of her personal persistence in every image. She experienced an instinctive affinity both with her as a person and with her poetry, even though surprised by her young age. By telling about herself, the creator of Aim in Time declares: “ I felt those images vibrating in me as if they belonged to me, as if they were part of my own past. (...) So I started doing photographic experimentations by turning the lens towards me. Since that moment I have never stopped.” Overwhelmed by this emotion, Enrica Magnolini created the first self-shots in a spontaneous way, especially motivated by the curiosity to experience herself as a subject in front of her own lens, but very soon she would feel the desire to keep on doing it. She portrayed herself in only a few occasions, in the city, in both usual and temporary places, in the dearest homes, mainly indoor.
