Memories of An Absence

  • Photographer
    Christian Basetti

It’s sadness, loneliness and melancholy. It's the memory of an absence, the desire for a presence. It's company need. It's a fairy tale for a sweet sleep, Or vigil next to an illness. It's what remains of those who left: the corner of wisdom of a grandfather, The sweetness of a grandmother that knits, the tenderness of a mother, that breastfeeds and the rest of a father that sits down comfortable, his tiredness. It's a meeting place and dialogue; about confessions between "old" friends that make sometimes life tedious; and it's even expectation ...the armchair.

Christian Basetti from Milan. Since 2015, he has been passionate about ancient decadent places, giving voice to these structures full of melancholy charm as if they were silent narcissistic creatures waiting for someone to express their greatness. Inspired by Caravaggio, he's creator of Forgotten Art-chitectures project, decayed places are not shot just with an usual limited documentary aspect, as many others do, but they are like painted fine art canvas aimed at aesthetics. Discoverer just about real places (not fake A.I)
