A friend once told me that  Camera Piena Camera Vuota (Full Room Empty Room) sounds like a jingle. For me, it resembled a moment filled with many doubts.

United by a sense of resistance and resilience, memory and erasure, these works navigate the space guided by (the idea of) traces or impressions as fossils, that are capable of telling stories and preserving memories whilst also revealing feelings like fear or anguish. They try to foster a dialogue between the personal and the political, the tangible and the intangible, prompting questions about how today’s reality is perceived, consumed, and what remains in its aftermath.

Much like threads in a spider's web, each single piece responds to one another. However, this ‘response’ does not necessarily imply interconnectedness. Instead, it resembles a dialogue, where individual voices follows their own path, yet they do contribute to a broader narrative.
