The images in this series present themselves as a narrative collection of accidental and disruptive happenings of the material and organic daily life.

The documented accidents are real, but acquire here a metaphorical – and therefore exponential – dimension, through the careful framing, attention to the light and photographic staging.

The photographs in close up and technically bare, are just apparently descriptive. In fact the narrative ensemble installs a restless enigma. The recent scar of a cat’s sterilization and what is left of beautiful broken objects invokes loss and pain in the day-to-day life.

The final image stands out from the group: the photographed theme – the human figure enters the frame, the bigger scale, the opening of the door to the exterior space, but most of all for proposing the attempt of care and repair. Naked toes carefully wrapped in animal fur, toe by toe, one by one, bring cosiness to the scene and raise the temperature.

This last photograph presenting us with a non-functional repairing – non-functional to the movement of real bodies in space, to the confortable locomotion of real feet in grass – underlines the potential of evocation and metaphor in the field of image representation.
