This is the only registration I have of my father’s voice reading a text from Lessico familiare by Natalia Ginzburg. This registration is from 2011, when I was working on a film and my parents were reading different texts. I’ve never used this audio piece. After eight years I decided to record this registration on a vinyl, create a mold in silicon gum and then a copy. From this mold I created a copy in epoxy resin and then destroyed the original registration and the vinyl.

The traces of the vinyl and the registration were transferred into the silicon gum and then again in the resin. In this process, what was recorded in the vinyl has changed but it is still close to the original, it’s something with a brand new identity.

Maze and labyrinth are two opposite concepts, the first has the aim of finding yourself while the second one of losing yourself instead.
A vinyl records has the same archetypical shape of a modern labyrinth, the spiral of Archimede.
