Biography
Romina Bassu draws on an archive from the past, a photographic archive. ‘Anonymous Archive' is her project which involves the collection of photographs from the (more or less recent) past and their reproduction as paintings. Bassu reflects on the links between individual and collective memory. Her intention is to put forward a sort of archaeology of recollection: observing the figures we find ourselves in relationship with our own past although we are looking at unknown people and portraits. As if these nameless faces had the power to trigger everyone's personal memories. An anonymous repertoire that recovers and therefore seeks to understand the continuum between universal and individual history.
