Statement:
Paris Match is a weekly French periodical magazine founded in 1949, and from one of its issues were cut out the fragments that make up this collage, a thinking back to the years when the dream of better years was perhaps more alive than ever.
Angelo Ricciardi lives and works in Naples where he was born. His study is based on the relation between writing and the configuration of contemporary society, with particular interest in the exchanges between verbal and visual communication.
