TITLE: Venuto al modo

The literal translation of “Venuto al modo” is “Came to a way”. In Italian it is a sort of poetical licensed wordplay which is half way between “just born” and “born this way”. Venuto al modo represents the start of an artistic and spiritual research project. This research has a far-reaching origins over time and has roots related to a period of almost ten years. Now the project has found the right technical, narrative and linguistic context in which to begin its journey of life in freedom again.

The works are carried out following the digitalization of “Washi” film: medium-sized monochromatic orthochromatic negatives realized through the sensitization of Kozo 28gr / sqm Japanese paper strips. The strips are developed by the author on-site: the project is realized into the heart of the Alps, into the valley of Rhêmes Notre-Dame (Aosta – Italy).

The concepts to which this project is linked are among others: truth, speculation, vulnerability, memory, failure and mountain.
