Riturné (Come Back in the Piedmontese language) is an attempt to learn how to love. It is a slow farewell, a love letter to my father, to the farm, and to a way of living shaped by the land. An effort to preserve and perpetuate a living connection with a past that is becoming history, to hold small fragments before they melt, because everything is impermanent.
This project embodies a crossing between past and present, a return to the homeland after many years living abroad, to a small village near the Alps, in the rural province of Cuneo in Northern Italy, and the need to establish a new connection with the territory. Looking for an identity in harmony and admiration with the natural environment. Exploring the everyday and the ordinary life in a creative process influenced by being outdoors and observing my own environment, without any geopolitical boundaries.
Memory, absence, home. What is gone, and what sooner or later will also disappear.
