on the street...second step

... in progress...

immagini...images of memory...memorie - first step



We photographed the garbage on the street

as urban archaeologists.







Everyone has a story, highlighted to traces of precedent life.



The rubbish has the capacity to contain himself








in past experiences which have already been visited,

memories not remember.








Retrieve and store the rubbish

try to retain it,




to leaving a trace.

Proposal

The rubbish dumps are cemetaries of contemporary life.
... new objects replace old ones because they are “old” and superfluous.
Photographed refusals, "deal to you", emphasize to you, camouflage to you or "corrected", but that also always refusals are, that is objects from dustbin and rubbish dump.
Retrieve and store the rubbish, try to retain it, to leaving a trace.
... Observe, collect, accumulate, store The rubbish has the capacity to contain himself in past experiences which have already been visited, memories not remember.


... We photographed the garbage on the street as urban archaeologists. We collected photos of these particular “artefacts”. Everyone has a story, highlighted to traces of precedent life.
We are sending the photo via email to each other to put the photos on the street and take photo of it.

... So through the photo of object we create a kind of “simulacri” of contempory time directly on the street where everybody can see these memoirs.
portraits of things in the street and on the streets, tickling the creativity and curiosity, and a different way of seeing objects discarded.

we hope so.. here, where, everywhere...

Finally, in April 2009 the Travelinmemory Project will be featured at TransCultural Exchange's 2009 Convention on the Opportunities in the Arts, in Boston, as part of the exhibition "Here There and Everywhere: Anticipating the Art of the Future" and will be included in the "Here There" catalog.
