Diachronicles is an examination of the historical space, regarded as a fictional container where an apparent collection of evidence opens up to the fantastic. In this space, the attempt to reconstruct the past falls into phantasmal gaps, where things are generated, used, buried, unearthed, transported, and relocated. This nomadic and fragmentary nature of what has been left behind reveals how the movement, transfiguration, and misinterpretation of objects shape historiography and ultimately, the real. In the impossible search of academic legitimation, the viewer is invited into a world where the factual and the fake overlap. Text by David Campany. Winner of the Luigi Ghirri Prize 2022.
