Familiar pics is an album of family memories. It is composed by three series: homy history, family on board and landscape.
In Familiar pics: homy history, historical documents, advertising images, images of war and violence are mixed and re-drawn on scottex paper.
The new meanings contrast the everyday surface on which they are appearing, creating a tension between familiarity and otherness.
Familiar pics takes shape from an archive composed by images, videos, advertising, tutorial, logos, operating instructions, historical documents. The rielaboration of these etherogeneous materials questions the role of images in cultural narration, the aesthetic normativity, the explotation of emotionality by mass-media.
The frames are transformed in hybrid bodies. They are a coagulation of daily elements, memories, scraps, remains of animals and plants forms of life.

Familiar pics is an album of family memories.
In the series, references of history of figuration and operating instructions, logos, tutorials, images found in social networks, sharing platforms and advertisements, converge throughout an ongoing transformative practice that reformulates bodies, landscapes and visual heritages.
Images and symbols are fragmented, their conceptual and visual functionality is suspended. The reconstruction process of the new images is aimed to critical re-appropriations of the pre-established meanings.
