Totem01 (monobloc)
HD Video, 15:19 min.

7 plastic chairs stack one above the other are cleaned and stacked again. Monobloc chairs are a recurrent element in my memories set in the small Sardinia’s village where my relatives live, they represent a social context as well as the way they are used and stored do.

The muggy heat of the summer months makes it rain dust that stains the stack of chairs, always leaving a dirt spot where you sit. Cleaning them for me is like reconnecting to my family’s land. An action which becomes conjunction.
