Valentina Maria Bonifati – Fortuna che ho amato il ritorno

VALENTINA MARIA BONIFATI

CONCEPT / SYNOPSIS OF THE WORK

“Fortuna che ho amato il ritorno” (Lucky I Loved the Return) stems from a reflection on unreality. The aquatint in the engravings emerges. It determines the invisible. The movement of the visionary machine is indefinite. It can move in one direction or the opposite, but in reality, it moves only within its own existence. There is no defined way, only an indefinite space within which memory takes over and consciousness aims toward vision.
