My father never told me much about his past.
Recently I found an old photo album of his. It turned out that when he was young, he took a picture from
a window of our house in Milan. Over the years I have taken the same picture several times...
So I decided to talk to him.
That window is a project that addresses a personal theme and was created during a workshop called 'Come to See My Backyard' led by Erik Kessels in November 2023 at ISIA of Urbino. We were invited to try to show something from our backyard, meaning that place, that part of ourselves that is usually hidden, personal, and often not shown because it causes us embarrassment or pain.
