For this series, I take photos of demonstrations and draw them again in a chromatic map as inclusively and widely as possible. Casi todos is a sort of imperious need to meet for the change of something good for EVERYONE.
Strada communicates with collective memory, empathizes with street production and collects it to find it again, transfigured, in a temple composed of altars of clippings from residues that beautify the ways of being in the public space, the street that belongs to everyone and nobody. Social weaving and economic development, but undoubtedly, the exercise of memory is the obliged path for a society that seems doomed to dissemble and assemble again repeatedly. The street, the public space, the act of inhabiting and creating community, to feel as one and everyone, are crucial stimuli –and necessities- in Elisa Strada’s life. There she collects objects, papers, cardboards, posters and signs, and takes photographs.
