There is a place, a situation, a moment of my daily life that I would like to fix in my mind, to memorize and to relive everytime I want to do it … I take my reflex and … I take a photo.
My photo will serve as material memory of the context where I was in the moment of the shot. But my physical memory will have to be very good to relive that moment completely (and, if possible, to communicate it to friends and acquintances), because time will try sorely my memory and will put in the background essential features included in the scene, as voices, sounds, fragrances, sensations of warmth, of cold, breaths of wind.
I decide to take and to take away one element included in my shot, a “transportable” object characterized by the context, where is at least one of the elements that can awake in me the memory of the “moment” and will become integral part and store of the photo, that hand down and strenghten the sensations to anyyone who was not in that context.
Beyond the glance you can touch, smell, listen to, contextualize the image, possibly developing sensations not even explored by the author, at the moment of the shot.
The displayed images are an example of a more advanced phase of the above-mentioned concept.
Everything is transferred into an internal environment, in a situation where we consider a static object in a semi-static context where, probably, we’ll not have substantial and sudden changes in “ landscape” and in the “environment”.

In the first example the subject is a radiator (towel-warmer) with a hanging bathrobe. I took a photo of the situation and I took away the bathrobe ( they did not allow me to do otherwise).
Installation: white and black ink-jet print, cotton material bathrobe.

The second installation is composed by a standard lamp with a raincoat hanging by a coat-hanger. Lamp and coat-hanger are the objects I have taken away, the black and white raincoat is a laser print on 30 grams paper, lamp by FLOS, coat-hanger by IKEA.

In both the examples the “memorial” is always in black and white, assembled with superimposed parts to mean “fragments of memory”.
