According to folk tales from Lucca, when you are not able to find your key or something disappears inexplicably in your house, it is Linchetto’s fault. It is believed that Linchetto is a naughty spirit that tricks people in their own house, he can cause knots in your hair so you will be forced to cut it or he can steal something so you cannot find it. He loves neatness and He cannot bear disorder. If you want to get rid of Linchetto you can leave a bowl of berries or rice. He is not able to count. He instinctively will want to count. Not being good at counting, he will soon get bored.
Nicoletta Cerasomma is a photographer and surrealist pop artist with a clear, graphic and strong language. Her studies in fashion photography and her experience in staged photography inspired her meticulous aesthetic. Her work is highly conceptual and complex: as surrealist artist, she incorporates archetypes and cultural iconography with satirical narratives inspired by the collective unconsciousness. Her images come from a personal place of exploration where she dreams about living a thousand lives in one.
