December 2008, Aquarium, Galleria Giacomo Manoukian Noseda, Milan. Set in some of the most evocative aquariums of Europe, this work highlights the ambiguous charm that characterizes our atavistic relationship with animals, at the same time both near and distant, familiar and alien, real and fantastical. The animals, persons, architecture of the aquariums, and each element is led to the incessant flow of the water, so similar to that of memory in its alternating movement from the surface to great depths.
