Alessandro Bucci introduces Italian curator Roberta Fiorito
The first ‘Curated by’ interference is offered by Italian curator Roberta Fiorito. Roberta approached photography from a background in art history and preservation. She explains that her interest for contemporary visual culture addresses specially artists with a curatorial approach to their practice, which she defines as an approach a research.
Her work for us explores the dualism between images and their real or merely potential other: an ancestral search for an alternative, often resulting in the incongruent twinship between the expected and the actual.

WISH – REALITY
HERITAGE – CONTEXT
FORM – SUBSTANCE
LIGHTHEARTNESS – SOUNDNESS
FRONT – BACK
These pairs of contrasting words have served as points of convergence for the construction of my contribution, and have helped me conjugate the concept of the double. As I normally do in my curatorial practice, which collocates itself at the crossroads between research in the art world and study of the role and fruition of images in contemporary societies, I have chosen to establish a dialogue between very young, emerging authors and more famous names, and among very diverse artistic researches. What follows is a collection/selection that privileges the sequence over the individual, based on associations and cross references in a continuous game of mirrors. Enjoy.
