Good Luck

An old 1930s typewriter found on an American amusement park.
In 32 characters, with just a few words hammered on the machine, we remember a happy moment, a place, a day, people. But there is often another side to the coin!
This reality that we could not have imagined appears on the back of this piece of memory. And the presence of this object of memory weighs us down, like a wheel of misfortune. What is written on the brass, on the photo paper, has to happen, like an awareness of destiny that is accepted at last.
From the unavoidable event, the fall is both the scenic place and the scenario: the piece and the text, the gesture and the abandonment.
