ONEROOM Books is proud to introduce a new format of
initiatives, ONE open ROOM, becoming a kind of a temporary
studio available for invited authors to express and talk about
themselves and their work in total freedom.
The first appointment will see Michela Palermo as hostess on
October 23rd and 24th presenting Re_framing, a printed matter
installation from her ongoing project The Untitled box, which will
remain on show until November 3rd.
"If photography is an everlasting fight against disappearing, if it
serves as a trace, as a recourse and a reminder of something that
has been; if it is the result of a chemical inscription of a brief
moment, my work sets forth the possibility of subverting all of this.
It is an attempt to show the fragility of my own vision: the
possibility to accept and perhaps welcome a non-linear existence,
as if what has happened has never happened, or has happened
in a suspended time elsewhere, in a dizzying network of uneven,
divergent and parallel times, which my gaze cannot witness, but only guess.
These beating of eyelashes take shape in publications where the
book (as object itself, where the order is postulated by the pages,
the number of it, the dimensions, and by the relationship between
the white and the weight of images) re-establishes a vision made
up of combinations and infinite possibilities of association.
I photograph to forget and to rewrite from the beginning what has been.”
(Michela Palermo)
On display the publications, a series of silver gelatin prints, a
collage of xerox prints on usomano paper and acetate made on
site and serigraphy posters.
