Hidden Paper
“Hidden Paper is an abstract metaphor, the result of seeking to remove rather than to add. An old family photo album and all the memories it enshrines (the black and white photos are shown back to front) are dematerialised and become a reflection on representation. It is a photographic exploration that thematizes language itself as an exhibit. The density of time and matter is what is simplified, revealing its abstract structure.” AF.
The material for the installation comes from the album (a).
“Andrea Ferrari surely believes, (…) that reality needs to be read like hieroglyphics and that photographic language can also help in deciphering these symbols. Photography to him is a conscious, reflective practice of a system of signs and (…) is linked to semiology, the analysis of signs.” — Quentin Bajac
