Photography, digital processing, overwriting with needle and polyester thread
Series of 4, Edition of 24 copies - Dimensions 30 x 40 cm.
A list, a series of digitally edited photographs, overwritten through an hand-made sewing process. It is the reconstruction of images stolen in the cities of Latin America and Southeast Asia, here the mechanical corporeality is exposed, the surgical suture reconstitutes a new multiplicity.
_ "Whether ARMILLA is like this because it is unfinished or because it has been demolished, whether the cause is some enchantment or only a whim, i do not know. The fact remains that it has no walls, no celings, no floors: it has nothing that makes it seem a city, except the water pipes that rise vertically where the houses should be and spread out horizontally where the floors should be: a forest of pipes that end in taps, showers, spouts, overflows. Against the sky a lavabo's white stands out, or a bathtub, or some others porcelain, like late fruits still hanging from the boughs" _ [ Invisible Cities - Italo Calvino ]
