CASA [2006 – 2008]
Series of six high-saturation ink-jet prints (1m x 1m each)
CASA is a series of six photographs that document the construction of new domestic architecture on the site of old homesteads in the artist’s ancestral village in Italy. The photographs of these new yet uncompleted constructions suggest structures that hover between the 'new' and the 'ruin', and serves as a means of reflecting on the homogenisation of domestic architectures and the effacement of family histories.
