Tratto da una storia vera / Based on a true Story
variable measure, mixed media: proper dressing table, drawings, digital prints, etchings, litographies, cake, passport pictures, objects. Open to intervention by the public. 2013
At the time two of us had a sister entering into puberty. That’s probably why we thought about recreating a sort of teenager’s room. We set up all our works in the same way that my sister pasted One Directions posters on her walls. We installed a dressing table that everybody could use, leaving on it our personal objects, pieces of works, one publication for each Tettina member, passport pictures, vintage tampons, female bullshits. Finding ‘Make yourself at home’ written on the floor, people left on the table their hand-made stuff (objects, drawings and polaroids), banknotes, they stole things, a flooded table occurring during the months of the exhibition filled the space . We still have 3 full boxes of stuff (in my dreams I’ll make a database of this).
F.P.
