“In 2020, I was contacted by the cultural commission of my village, Arogno, to carry out a project related to the ‘memory archive,’ hearing the testimonies of the village elders. Photographing locals 80 years and older over two years and displaying the results in the town’s streets.

I decided to avoid the digital camera, leaning on the authentic atmosphere of film to enhance the concept of memory.

Undertaken during the spectre of the pandemic, there was a lot of responsibility around entering their homes. Although, once inside, the elderly were happy to share their life stories, creating a fulfilling experience for all involved.
