Archives Of Empaty - 2023

Collection of images that explore relationships, identity, and slow time.
In contrast to the hyper-productivity and frantic search for stunning images that characterizes contemporary society, this work emphasizes the simplicity of the everyday and therefore, the “already seen“.
The works are composed of hundreds of photographs found on the web, from Google to social media, digital surfaces belonging to our daily life  cropped and reworked in order to work with a painterly approach.

Critical essay by Giangavino Pazzola

he act of renewal in Archives of Empathy emerges first of all from a narrative point of view. Indeed, the gazes of the young women and men portrayed in the new images seem to transcend the isolated condition in which those depicted on the intense monochrome backgrounds of her earlier production are to be found.
Such aseptic environments disappear here, giving way to more detailed settings enriched by a palette of brighter tones, where the subjects engage in a new relationship with space and time.
In these works, the subjects indeed rediscover a more empathetic approach towards community through caring gestures, hugs, references to motherhood and softer poses.
They are joined by other landscapes and still lives with floral and domestic themes that, besides granting a sense of chromatic and rhythmic balance to the entire exhibition, continue to evoke a generative sensory dimension.
