The interaction between images and ancient documents creates a sort of Atlas of memory, and for the cards dedicated to Aosta, the use of the ancient manuscript by Nicolas Claude, De universo terrarum orbe, 1662 (Aosta, Biblioteca regionale Bruno Salvadori) makes the contemporary artwork created by the author precious and unique.
"The fascination of the card game runs through the entire history of art and it is enough to recall some famous works by Caravaggio, Georges de La Tour, Cézanne and Balthus to understand the poignancy of a genre subject with extraordinary symbolic implications," emphasises curator Daria Jorioz.
Miriam Colognesi takes on a dense, very dense theme and enriches it with even more references: she starts with the historical photographic portrait, associates it with archive documents, and redraws its boundaries in a game of mirrors, as mobile as the surface of water rippled by a stone thrown to produce concentric circles that move away from the centre. Simplifying, we could say that Miriam Colognesi makes a very precise choice, that of investigating through a personal expressive register the theme of individual and collective memory".

The exhibition project is enriched by a video by Luca Bich and a catalogue published by Tipografia Duc with texts by Valeria Bianchi Mian, Omar Borettaz and Daria Jorioz, on sale at the exhibition at the price of 15 euro.
