Magneto (2019 - ongoing)
Going into lives and passions of people who we consider (almost) unknown. How can we do it?
Technology it's very helpful in these cases. Never before it's enough a simple search on an engine or a social network… and that's it, privacy violated, life takes shape and become material. We outline a profile, imagination is replaced by certainty. We have seen, read everything about him/her, finally has been emerged a prejudice. It's pure voyeurism but in a transformed way, where excitement has been replaced by anxiety, in which stereotype has served, doubt abolished.
Damn it, too easy.
I want their privacy, but not in this fashion.
I want to deepen into their true intimacy.
The magnets on their fridge will reveal who they are. Like chunks arranged in a casual way at first glance, they will bring out a complex identity, true and no longer mediated by appearance.
Installation
All the images will be projected and/or printed in 1:1 ratio based on the dimension of the relative fridge model.
