breaks/kintsugi

takes stock of the damages we humans have caused to the envinronment, even the mountains, which seemed to be

so strong and reassuring not long ago. I show the wounds produced by millennial evolution and our own doing by

emphasising breaks we see in rocks, at times enlarging them, and embossing them in the printing phase. The

embossments and the printing method I chose allowed me to go beyond the bi-dimensional character of

photography. I had the electronic files engraved ona polymeric base; I then inked the plate and printed the

image with a traditional press. I printed a second version of the sameimage, in which the breaks have been

filled with fragments of stone, in an attempt to reproduce the practice of Kintsugi, which repairs breaks without

hiding the scars left on the objects
