This series of works was created during two residencies, “Maniera Scura” and “Que Viene El Coco,” alongside artists Mik Boiter, Alberto Brunello, Elie Carp, Milan Jespers, and the trio Cane Morto. The works have been exhibited in Brussels at Encore Gallery and in Rome at Galleria Varsi.
Mistakes in life often mirror mistakes in the creative process. What is the relationship between the two? What can life teach us through our errors, and what can art reveal? An error is always a sign of the natural flow of events, and therefore,"right."
Photographic enlargers and etching presses, which have largely disappeared in the digital age, have been revived, liberated from their purpose of mass reproduction and the need for a rigid interpretation of reality.
The once-aimless, primordial use of these now-outdated instruments—generally replaced by faster, cheaper, and more commonplace methods—opens the door to free technical experimentation, unbound from necessity and practical purposes.
