NOSTALGIA OF TOTALLY OTHER

The title of the series is "Nostalgia for the Totally Other", and takes up that of a book-interview by Max Horkheimer. Small ink drawings were enlarged, painted and reported on the first pages of newspapers, digitally printed on paper, and finally mounted on aluminum panels.

The world of everyday life, even in its most striking or dramatic events, is removed, almost denied by a gesture, by a hand of white on which to draw a dreamed world of islands and gods who live in the freedom of form and color.

Thus was born the possibility of a game, sometimes cruelly ironic, of overlapping, erasing and transparencies. Here and there, in an apparently casual way, a face or a word emerges, often full of drama, like a distant cry, trying to be heard again, while a new music is occupying the entire sound space.
