MEMORIA TECHNICA (spring, summer, autumn, winter), analogue film, exposed 2015 at Sognsvann in Oslo, Norway.
90,64 x 180 cm, artist-proof prints, sponsored 2017 by Epson Europe, exposed at Oslo Art and Fashion Festival in Norway.
63 x 197 cm archival ink vellum prints, ( 75 x 209 cm framed), 2025 in Naples, Italy. 4 panels compose the artwork, 1 of 1.
The film was scanned and digitally manipulated into a series of monolithic images. The vellum prints were made for the way they will age over time. The translucence of the vellum will transform into a soft yellow, and the black ink into Terra di Siena, a reddish pigment evocative of terrain. Memoria Technica imagines the paradoxical concept of eternity. The monolithic mirrored landscapes perform as markers of chronoception — the brain’s subjective perception of time passing — while portraying the four seasons at a scale mirroring the human body. The artistic choices reference relationships between the earth, magnetic resonance imaging of human breathing, ancient long form scrolls, as a secular version of the Shroud of Turin.
These monoliths are part of the Virtual Material body of work.

“È evidente la citazione alla Sacra Sindone (iconograficamente il tratto più evidente) la 4 stagioni sono un inno alla vita. Vivaldi docet, lo consiglierei come sottofondo soundtrack alla mostra.” – Fiorenzo D’Avino
