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
