Specially created for Unseen Amsterdam 2018, Alessandro Calabrese’s participatory project addresses the concept of authorship and the personal challenge to abandon it by inviting visitors to contribute an image from their phone before deleting it from their device. As more photographs are printed and destroyed throughout the day, the mass of images shredded receive a new collective life as they are assembled into new works, and exhibited as The Long Thing: Re-assembling Images. The result of this performance was lately exhibited at Casa Testori, Milan, during the collective exhibition Graffiare il Presente. Supported by Unseen Amsterdam and Viasaterna.
