IN SECONDO LUOGO

Cemeteries are heterotopic places where spaces, that would normally be considered incompatible, are juxtaposed.

Here, in a huge collection of portraits that sometimes span moments of daily life, there are vernacular images that show the change of representation in photography and its archetypes.

According to Paul Valery, “everything begins with a break”: from that, the archive was made possible. Interruption tells us about life through its absence, evoking itself. So the archive contradicts itself in adding where it subtracts.
