The series I presented expresses the concepts of:
fragmentation of the image with overlapping effects, and illusory perception of reality.

The series is inspired by the story from the book ‘Chiar di Luna’ by Guy de Maupassant, – ‘The Apparition’.
The pages are torn out and told in four stages as if they were four levels of a video game. The message cannot be deciphered through a single picture. In order to be read, it needs all the pictures and therefore one must advance to the end. The non-visible part of the sheet, the verso, is transcribed and pasted on the back of the canvas.
The part we see may turn out to be an illusion, like the apparition of Maupassant’s tale that leaves the protagonist in doubt as to the nature of what he thinks he has seen.
The illusory nature of the vision is emphasised by small colour boxes that act as filters and represent the pixels of the digital world.
It is up to the viewer to decide what he has seen: a story, a page from a book, a printed sheet, a coloured page, and it is always up to him to decide whether to complete the story-play.
