Passé proche
Italie
2013
“Passé proche” is a multimedia project, developed between 2000 and 2011, presenting in the form of an installation the story of a small family business, producing dry ham, created in 1875 in the north of Italy. This work follows the evolution of a family history where the characters meet the dramas of the wars and the events of the Italian economic miracle. In 1990, the evolution of the production systems and globalization force Susanna’s parents to sell the company to a major global company. This project questions the disappearance of the founding activities and the heritage they leave us.
