I began collecting and keeping scrap prints and test strips from
the darkrooms in 2010 when attracted by a tiny black and
white picture that had been scrapped by somebody and
dumped in the trash, I decided to make it mine and bring it
home. The tiny rectangle of fiber-based paper and the building
printed on it had something of the ancient miniatures: crispy
and detailed, carefully framed, deep blacks well balanced by a
wide range of grey and white tones. The photo itself had noth-
ing special, it was random. What made it look special to me
was the contrast between a certain attention to details, giv-
en by a nice exposure of the paper, a proper framing and a
pleasant contrast, and the inaccuracy that at the same time
was standing out through the carelessly-trimmed paper and
the yellowish colour symptomatic of a hasty processing.
The tiny print ended up sticked onto my closet door, and so
did many other ‘rejected’ pieces that now, in this book, are
shown as found artefacts. orphans of an artist, de-
prived of a title: indexical representation of unknown places
and unspecified times, each photograph assumes a dimen-
sion that goes beyond the taste and the artistic conventions,
it is a memory and moreover it is someone else’s.
