In 2020, Federico Possati moved back to Milan after living in New York for eight years. It felt like a transformative life cycle had ended and another had begun. This book explores the necessity of giving meaning to an ever-growing pile of images, an obsessive catalogue of small vignettes found in everyday life. Using the structure of an uncommon diary, images and text combine in a narrative that continues throughout its pages. The book is divided into twelve chapters, but unlike a diary, each chapter recalls a month selected from a different year. The result is a collection of memories, events, and instances that intermingle and coexist — a multifaceted snapshot of twelve years in a life.
