References brought back to the table. Readings, photographs and editorial choices acquire meaning through the relationships we build between them.
A saved image still awaits a question. The work begins when we return to it: what caught our attention, in what context was it made, and what changes beside another image?
Repertório Fóscolo is a series about that return. A detail in a book, a landscape or a framing choice can open a relationship. Naming the source and testing the connection are part of reading.
