Impression on photosensitive paper, created with photographer Claudio Abate for the exhibition at the Mara Coccia Gallery in Rome, where a ‘series of works executed by artists in the “orge”, Claudio’s secret den, his dark room, was exhibited. Each of us experimented and applied our signature and interpretation of the work, impressing or, rather, “drawing” with light on photographic paper, creating an original proof that combines the bond and years of knowing one another in a synthesis that embraces the peculiarity of each artist’s work, the modus operandi of photography, and direct experience of the place where it was realised.’1 Two non-signed, non-numbered copies of the artwork are known.
