Royal Divorce
Through a montage of found images and marginal texts, the piece traces a story of the images’ previous lives, following the transformations of L’Inconnue de la Seine: an icon that becomes an allegory and metaphor for memory in its attempt to escape the eternity of preservation.
Biography
Working through a visual language rooted
in discarded images and their hauntological power, Royal Divorce moves within the systemic crisis of representation, exploring the clash between historical and digital archives and giving rise to landscapes suspended between visual installation and performance. Amateur images and texts sourced from
the web become a means of exploring the impact of digital archives on both collective and individual imagination.
Royal Divorce is composed of Teresa Barbagallo, Angelo Licciardello, and Sebastiano Sicurezza.
