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
