I can not imagine anything which excludes a sense of mystery, I never consider nature to be natural. To me characters, objects and landscapes are always unnatural, which means hidden.
– Pierpaolo Pasolini

“Memorandum” introduces the works of the three artists who operate through different mediums: Doherty with video-installations, Campanini with paintings and photoengravings and De Lazzari with drawings. The three of them share an accurate and sensible glance of the everyday and what can be considered “natural” in the research of secret places, ambiguous spaces and hidden memories. There is no forced mystification in their approach, but it feels as if reality was permeated by a thin veil of mystery which is sometimes represented by complex constructions and sometimes inhabits familiar territories hosting the unnatural. Looking at their artworks, we feel the traces left by the passage of a story which appears at first sight as normal and natural. We do not notice it on the process, but only a bit later when every thing is tacit yet dense of memories. At times traces emerge as wounds, others as imaginary assemblies. These passages come to us through the artists’ gaze and the interventions they operate. The gaze is not innocent; it penetrates, granting the viewers the discovery of hidden beauties revealed through the language of art.
