Retroscena

Since 1883 the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome holds the largest collection of contemporary art in Italy. With 58 rooms and more than 130 thousand annual visitors, the management of the Gallery is the result of the constant work of many people. This project shows the spaces of the museum captured behind the scenes. Designers, cleaners and restorers. I wanted to give a different point of view than that of a visitor. I looked for places where access to visitors was restricted: deposits, laboratories or simple signs of a third presence between the visitor and the artworks. The still life series is part of this second block of work. They are all objects coming from the gallery restoration laboratory.
