A DIARY

La Corte Arte Contemporanea Gallery, Firenze, 2002

The piece is "a diary", with notes and images, of a woman who you can call Rose.

I do not know her. I read her story from my photographs of a rose. One night I came home late from school, a young man was selling roses at the front door, and he just gave me one.
I appreciated it very much so I brought the rose up to my room, and started to play around with my camera.

I took the photographs without thinking of a story. But when I looked at them in my contact sheets, I saw the story. So I made the Diary for her, Rose, who may be living somewhere around us.

The Diary contains 17 pages.
