I am an emerging artist and arts manager and I make photos and mixed media artworks. By contesting the division between the realm of memory and the realm of experience, I make work that deals with the documentation of memories and the question of how they are presented. The work tries to express this by analysing the passing of time in relation to the culture of a place. My collected, altered and own photos are being confronted as aesthetically resilient, thematically interrelated material for memory and projection. The possible seems true and the truth exists, but it has many faces, as Hannah Arendt cites from Franz Kafka. In a search for new methods to ‘read the city’, I focus on the idea of ‘public space’ and more specifically on spaces that belong to different eras: the connection between the present and the past and the definition of space. My works are an investigation into representations of (seemingly) concrete ages and situations as well as depictions and ideas that can only be realised in photography. With Plato’s Allegory of the Cave in mind, I absorb the tradition of remembrance art into daily practice. This personal follow-up and revival of a past tradition is important as an act of meditation. Most of my artwork relates to the history of a site and the concept of the temporary vs the contemporary. Born in Italy, I observe the differences in Australia's cultural heritage.
