Grief (2025)


Grief is a collaborative, performative artist book of 60 pages, encased in a reclaimed sweet chestnut trunk.
Contrary to the principles of traditional publishing, Grief resists portability and mass distribution, it is intentionally weighty, difficult to open without assistance, and demands a collective, physical encounter.

Ampia Prospettiva (2025)

(IT) un tentativo di archivio, o forse solo un modo per non perdere traccia.
scrivo e fotografo, ma non sempre le due cose coincidono.
ci sono cose che si sentono e che non riescono a diventare né parola né immagine.
continuo a cercare un punto in cui testo e fotografia funzionino insieme,
non solo visivamente, ma a livello di pelle, di sensazione.

vent’anni sono niente,
e questo lavoro prova a stare dentro quel niente,
a definire quello che sento, o forse quello che mi sento.
un po’ persa, un po’ a disagio nel mondo.

tra le poesie ho scattato immagini in luoghi che per me hanno un legame.
ho vissuto fuori, da sola, da quando ero adolescente.
tornare significa ricordare chi ero quando abitavo in quei luoghi,
che ora sembrano diversi, più carichi.

(EN) an attempt at an archive, or maybe just a way not to lose track.
i write and i take photographs, but they don’t always meet.
there are things you can feel that don’t become words or images.
i keep searching for a point where text and image work together,
not only visually, but on the skin, as a sensation.

twenty years is nothing,
and this work tries to stay inside that nothing,
to define what i feel, or maybe what i feel like.
a bit lost, a bit out of place in the world.

between poems i took images in places that hold a connection.
i’ve lived abroad alone since i was a  teenager.
going back means remembering  who i was when those places held me,
that now feel different, heavier.
