The strong powers of economics and consumerism subjugate culture and environmental ethics in Fabrice's untitled, for the moment, Polaroids.
In an ironic and paradoxical way, Fabrice composes a superimposition of commercial labels and views that evoke the theme of a trip to Italy with the aim of explicating the intellectual impoverishment to which contemporary society is heading. The bust of the moustachioed Moretti beer man in the foreground contrasts with the underlying background depicting the decapitated statue of Ferdinand I of Bourbon in front of Catania's Palazzo Biscari, in a game of historical and historical-artistic references, just as the pizza chef's chubby face invades the Faraglioni of Acicastello.
