Exhibitions, Austria, Vienna, 01 April 2017
Between 2014 and 2015, in a series of self-portraits, the artist creates to life places and memories from her childhood. Throughout the photos, she once again experiences the feelings she felt when she was still living with her family.
She climbs up the stairs to the terrace, which was a meeting point of emotional importance, as old photos suggest.
So in the absence of concrete own memories she walks on a trail which is an "historical" reconstruction, virtually forming a background of the story.
In the footsteps of her memory, the viewer follows the now adult Stefania through the scenes she has already spent in childhood.
As a result, past and present moods intermingle:
Fear and at the same time the - still - childlike curiosity to exceed thresholds. Dream, curiosity and presence evoke old and new visions.
The time remaining on the stairs, the steps and breaks, anticipate the quiet melody for the last dance: the miracle of the night on the terrace like a catharsis. Being able to leave the past for a new future.
