“Appunto il tempo” manifests itself through a series of images portraying cluttered tables, steeped in a postprandial aesthetic. There are no plates or food remnants but rather medical instruments: syringes, vials, gauze. These objects tell the story of a different kind of nourishment—one that transcends food and is tied to the act of periodically injecting a blood recombinant drug into the body. The table becomes the stage for a medical ritual that, instead of satisfying hunger through food consumption, sustains the body via interaction with medication, needles, and repetitive practices.
This reflection invites us to question what it truly means to nourish the body and soul when traditional food is no longer enough. In this extended sense, nourishment takes on a new significance, deeply connected to illness and its daily management. The clutter on the table becomes a metaphor for living with a chronic condition: a disordered process composed of repetitive gestures that evoke the fragility and complexity of the body and the passage of time. Here, the act of nourishing oneself is not a sensory pleasure but a medical necessity, resembling the intimate diary of someone who is unwell, where every gesture is oriented toward maintenance and survival.
“Appunto il tempo” is concretized in a sequence of photographic images capturing the climax and conclusion of the "ritual and nourishment." The photographs also include personal elements, such as objects and people, in a play of order and chaos, creating a diaristic narrative that unfolds in chapters every 21 days.
