Lunarium and other lists

“Lunarium and other lists” works with the mechanical, indexical and repetitive language of photography. In this circular discourse, it reports in parallel the cycles of the moon, of life (in its endless tasks), of the changing seasons and of the “vertigo of the list”. Between the collections we involuntarily build, the personal library, the inherited objects, the small rituals and superstitions or the desire we have to glimpse the future by observing natural cycles; this project oscillates between the macro and the micro, trying to find the comfort we feel in large and small circular movements, in returning to the known, in foreseeing the unknown, or in ritualizing repetition.
