Giulia Casula - Come ricordarsi della sete

COME RICORDARSI DELLA SETE

(How To Recall Thirst)

Landscape and memory, seen through invisibility, an ephemeral and intangible trace. An investigation on the memory of territory and places. I try to decode the nature and relationship that exists within the individuals who have been crossing it and who live in it. I am interested in the relationship between personal and collective experiences. Through an analysis of imagination, of one’s dreams and memories that change with the passage of time, I focus on small interferences, accidents, intentions, errors, doubts. I collect clues.

By creating photographic works, videos and installations, I represent the visual suggestions of my daily life. I bring the viewer to alienation, with the intention of bringing back a personal experience, a distant memory that surfaces in the mind as one falls asleep, through confused and devoid of precise sensations. It is the feeling of deja-vu, in which familiarity and estrangement are mixed.
