Falso ricordo

The mechanism of false memory involves the distorted recollection of a prior memory or, in some cases, the creation of an event that never actually took place. Photographic images from a personal archive were initially manipulated digitally and then subtly enhanced with minimal painterly touches to highlight specific details. By replacing the original colors, a shift occurs from the real starting image, echoing the elusive nature of false memories. This work aims to spotlight the contrast between the mental image of a memory and the one captured by the camera, building a visual narrative around the concept of false memory.
