Journals - Written works - Giovanni Ambrosio

A body of works based on memory and journal writing, on words, photographs and minimalist painting in which gesture, paint, papers and prints are on the same level. Photography eventually steps in to gather all elements into sedimented mixed media. From ancient greek verb gràphein: to scratch, to cut into, to draw, to sketch, to paint, to write, to write down, to propose a law.

My personal notebook pages are erased and then scanned. Some of them are printed, erased again and scanned again. All of them will be printed on large scale format. Or in book format.
