Photomaton
2018
Collective project with:
Fernando Marante: www.fernandomarante.com
Rossella Nisio: www.manicowlworks.com
PHOTOMATON is a work on memory and absence that exposes us to
representations of people which, as a matter of fact, cannot tell us anything
about their subjects. They leave us with mere physiognomies, clues about
social, cultural, financial status, which tell us very little about the actual
core of the life of the people portrayed.
PHOTOMATON uses as a starting point for its reflection the
automatic photographic booth, still present today in public spaces as metro
stations, transforming it into a miniature museum.
