Frido

2012–2013. Frido addresses the loss of memory through landscapes that act as the visual materialisation of an internal process: memories fading at the very moment we attempt to hold on to them. What disappears is not the place itself, but the possibility of remembering it. Even so, a minimal trace sometimes remains, enough to become a document. These remnants invite us to pause and to question what still resists before it vanishes completely. The project sits on the threshold preceding Da-dark, a series that imagines a territory where memory has already been extinguished. Frido belongs to the moment before that, when faint traces still allow us to reconstruct, however imperfectly, what once existed. The work points to the ease with which our memories can unravel, leaving scarcely a trace behind. The process was essential: seeking out spaces that embodied this sense of imminent disappearance and photographing them exactly as they appeared at that precise moment, without further intervention. These direct digital images preserve the vulnerability of a memory on the brink of being lost.
