Cemetery is a Covid19 Quarantine born project and it is a attempt to face the limitation of the artistic expression (During thee quarantine time in Rome, Italy, I was forbidden to go out and shoot so I found an idea that could be developed shooting inside my home, using what I had in that moment) as a result of the governments measures during the pandemic. In our no distance no break society, smartphones become our helm that guides us through the world we live in. Our main signal became digital, signals are produced by devices and those devices become our talisman through which we transform our pure physical being from carnal to digital. More than a pictorial fresco we are a digital reconstruction. Finger prints are the only physical trace that are left on our devices’ screen. Those are now the material witness of our digital actions. Our devices turn into a cemetery, sepulchres of our actions. From those conclusions the idea to begin this project and the decision to take picture of all the smartphones (working and dead) and tablet I had in my apartment. However It is a work in progress project and I will take more pictures of smartphones and prints.
