In the Piedmontese dialect the word "sarè" means "to tighten". This term speaks to us of the fear of losing something, of the need to hold it to us in fear that it may escape us.
At least once in our lives, we have all experienced the disappearance of a loved one. The sense of emptiness and sadness that follows that moment. In remembering her we think of her habits. In the place he usually occupied at the table, in his way of leaving the keys at the entrance, when he returned home.
I remember my grandfather's way of pouring wine into the glass, that persistent smell of smoke that struck me every time I entered the bathroom, the western movies he watched every afternoon.
The loss and the need to soothe the pain, lead us to "eliminate" all the objects that belonged to the person we lost. Those environments that we have always had before our eyes, now appear to us different, full of a feeling of estrangement. This project stems from the need to find the objects, which in the memory, refer to the deceased loved one. It is proposed as a universal attempt at consolation, retracing the daily life of the person we have lost, through the objects that belonged to him.
The absence of a human figure makes the need to see beyond that furniture palpable. It guides us in the imagination of those hands, which a thousand times have opened those doors. The photos of the rooms, in which this absence is clearly visible, are combined with shots on the print of which some objects have been engraved. Like ghosts, jackets and glasses return to their environments, on black and white photos, which guide us into a past time.
