A photographic inventory and an analysis of everything contained in the storage room of my house, physically and emotionally.
The work reflects on the accumulation of objects that are in limbo in between staying and leaving our lives, being an analogy with our way of storing memories and becoming an involuntary archive for traces of our lives.
My family nucleus members helped me shape with their perception the memory imaginary that the objects evoke, turning into characters of the story.
My aim is to narrate a tale that is at the same time my own life’s, and a mirror in which everyone can find themselves in. Everyone has a tangible storage room and a metaphorical one.
