Forgetfulness. Remember to remember!

"A photo not taken is a memory that isn't there! Remember to remember!"

Some memories are extremely clear, clearly in focus... others, however, are blurry, faded, so much so that some even fade from memory and end up in oblivion. If not periodically "nourished" and remembered, they are forgotten and replaced with new ones.

Through this photographic installation, composed of origami birds and small, dark stones resembling breadcrumbs, I seek to represent all this, juxtaposing the idea of photography as a vector of truthfulness and image persistence with an element—the bird—linked to the fickle and transitory. Mutable in its composition, the birds are munching on small pebbles, a reference to Jewish culture and their cult of the dead.

Each single element is impressed by folding, in order to generate a support that is no longer two-dimensional to work on, but three-dimensional composed of planes, facets, folds on which to create blurred images, deformations, superimpositions.
