"Grass, leaves, flowers, tree bark are the subjects of the works on display here. A way of conversing with Nature, thus capturing the least striking aspects of a plant world that surrounds and shares our everyday lives. Remo Rachini’s and Anna Roberti’s research have in common not only an attention to detail and a curiosity for these existences that are different from our own, they also pursue their experimentation with expressive techniques that converge in fixing on paper and on very thin tissues the impressions of those very same existences, those very same stories This is why I harken back to Lucretius’ De rerum natura when describing an exhibition that intends to offer the visitor a sort of two-fold approach to the natural world that exudes the flavour of journeys, but that are actually domestic itineraries, memories of late summer, of the search for the meaning, at times even classificatory, of a variety of signs and forms that dot our visual field even in the city streets, between train tracks, along sidewalks, in an urban park, amidst uncultivated fields and ruins. Rachini and Roberti suggest a two-fold path, which is also a call for personal responsibility and a spurring of action so that others become aware of the reality via testimonies and minute signs."
