Red Heart

The photograph which captures the famous decoration of the Fabbri Amarena jar, framed at an angle, becomes threedimensional thanks to the red heart, which recalls the colour of the Amarenas, created using kirigami, an oriental technique involving cutting and folding paper which the artist has used in the past. In this way, the work seems to transform into a composition of antique majolica tiles, known as “riggiole” in Neapolitan dialect, which can bring together two distant cultures and their powerful beauty, without clashing. A new poetic harmony forms the basis of Camporesi’s work, even when it captures landscapes, abandoned former prisons, other buildings, and her particular interpretation of Ophelia or Michelangelo Antonioni.
