Facsimile is a new collaboration between artists Georgia Mill and Giordano Biondi. The work explores the process of recreating memories – how we mentally reinforce, erase and reconstruct stories from our lives. Through repetition and reinterpretation of images, objects and sounds, we constantly reimagine our life narratives and understanding of ourselves. Mill’s work comprises an audio-visual installation featuring interviews with participants in which they recount memories containing magical or unbelievable elements they are unsure of having ever occurred. Biondi’s work consists of a series of the same image which has undergone several processes of digitalisation by means of a scanner, and prints of its successive scans.

Giordano has lately focused on cityscapes depict ideal landscape as narratives that invites the gaze to linger in everyone of its components. Each house and palace is the locus of an encounter or an idea, expressed through the peculiarity of its architecture. The whole picture is then an alphabet or an archive into which the gaze consults, travels, or finds refuge and solace. these fictional cities are intended as a sort of dream catcher for the eye, a portal to a remote land.
