Supporto Memoria / Memory Device
2024, series of 44 photos, pigment prints on matt paper, each 45 x 30 cm

Supporto di memoria / Memory Device (2023) is a series of 44 photos of objects from my past: devices and media such as cameras, recorders, mobile phones, film, audio tape, floppy disk, CD, memory card, sim card, etc.
The photographs are laconic, showing single objects with neutral backgrounds, as if from an archive.
The single objects tell a (hi)story of media over (my) time, from the analogue to digital era, and is also like a self portrait.
