Minuti

After four years in Holland, many personal relationships, and different experiences, I began my return to Italy by making a selection of objects: I had to decide what to throw away and what to keep. In doing so, I realized that many of the objects I came across represented Memories to me, and although they were, for the most part, without real value they were imbued with a strong emotional meaning. My project Minuti is, therefore, a container of Memories, a place to put all those small objects that lead us back to countless past moments that should not be forgotten, worthy of being kept in a ‘Wunderkammer’, a personal room of wonders. Small or large trinkets, paperwork, and knick-knacks, usually set aside at the bottom of the drawers until they have been forgotten, are placed in the center to allow the memories and emotions connected to them to rise once more. Through the creation of a sculptural piece of furniture, I would like to make their presence echo out in domestic spaces and dedicate a new awareness within our lives and homes to them.
