The ARCHÈO photographic project talks about an interrupted story, the story of a world, once inhabited, which has stopped and of which only the traces of a past domestic experience remain, wrapped in silence and in a long wait, as if the same time had lost its consistency.
What value do things have? I imagined a still world, covered by dust and ash. A world in which objects are the witnesses of past domestic life and on every object touched, the imprint of a personal and universal history remains. Those places where objects of a lifetime are stored, boxes and memories to be protected and preserved as if they were precious rarities.
The stories I have been looking for, take shape in the silences and voids of the photographed objects, which seem to have been there for centuries, at the limits of time and space, discolored by the passing of the years, the memory of places that have been spectators of human events.Objects like monoliths in the earth, mute and weightless, become archives of memory and images become historical documents of a daily and intimate life: a domestic archeology composed of stories asleep in their shape.
