The project “I do not want to desappear” aims to recovery the meaning of the words “Ghost” meant as apparition, a supernatural presence that shows itself through nature. A flutter, a sky full of stars, a flap, the wind between wildflowers. The artist still works on diptychs and female figures, as she has done in her latest projects, following the idea of comparing different elements, in this specific one nature and soul, the spirit of dead women: blurry images reveal their stories, hidden in the cosmos, that the audience is invited to guess.
Nicoletta Cerasomma is an Italian artist born in Lucca. Her research investigates the erasure of feminine identity — through memory, violence, and silence — using photography, installation, and archival materials. Dust, gold, fire, and light become agents of meaning in works that move between dream and collective memory. Her previous work addressed violence against women directly. This project continues that investigation — rooted in history, in one city, in names that were never footnotes.
