COUP de ROUGE avec Eugenia INGEGNO
« I look at unlived second lives, something that did not happen but that could have happened. Situations seen for just a brief moment and then left waiting.
Portraits glimpsed, dreamed or only imagined.
A series of objects, real or not, accumulated and broken up to extract what is essential for me: a decorative detail or a fragment, just enough to trigger a memory.
As the Sunday photographer takes snapshots to capture the present, pursuing life as it flees, as if everything that he coudn’t photograph had never existed. Lost forever. I live the present as a future memory like a professional photographer, making it posed, manipulating reality, tries to photograph some memories, to give a body to recollection, replacing it for the present before his eyes (I.Calvino).
I catch the shape impressing the material into the mold as the photographer captures the image impressing light on the film.
All that this has been and this is what remains. This thing exists or has existed.
This is the reality and the past at the same time; an emanation of the real past: magic. »
