In the middle of the stack of packed books was a note that read: Why was man born to life, what's the point if he has to die and pass into oblivion as if he had never been born? Rosacroce is a visual story, layered through the vision of a man who lived his life in the order of Freemasonry, keeping it secret until his death. It is truth and falsehood, it is sin, form and rebirth. The project was born from the discovery of a private archive and its personal reworking. The images partly become the process of a fleeting memory through which are reconstructed stories never told and a manipulated memory in which identities are confused.Experienced places, symbols and words join those of the protagonist.
