Collage on newspaper, wood, wood frame, glass, toy cars, sprayer for detergents, electrical elements, toy spaceship, metal remains, aluminuim, plywood, hacksaw handle, clay, pigments, a-toxic resin.

The stereotype shapes of family members censor and substitute the charachers of the image. Collage appropriates the images, creating a tension between familiarity and otherness.
The artwork is part of the Familiar pics series.
Familiar pics takes shape from an archive composed by images, videos, advertising, tutorial, logos, operating instructions, historical documents. The rielaboration of these heterogeneous materials questions the role of images in cultural narration, the aesthetic normativity, the exploitation of emotionality by mass-media.
The frames are transformed in hybrid bodies. They are a coagulation of daily elements, memories, scraps, remains of animals and plants forms of life.
