Présentation

The idea for "Glue" came about when the photographer discovered an old register in an abandoned factory. Inside, the unknown owner had stuck images from newspapers, magazines, greetings cards, labels, etc. all meticulously cut out and in chronological order, from the 1950s to the 1970s. From this strange repertory Chiara Rame extracts clues and traces of a distant past, just visible through the successive stages of photography and printing, but heavy with resonance. In the study of time through these images one observes something of the mysterious memory of photography.
