Primo Levi defines memory as "marvelous but fallacious" or rather subjective, personal, individual, intimate. So precious that it cannot be mixed or confused with that of others. The artists instinct is not to photograph things as they are but rather their focusing on memory as basis for her research. Innately using a photographic medium, Cacciuttolo then transforms the image by undergoing an alchemical metamorphosis, from pure surface to sculpture / installation in copper and silk organza, a type of fabric that shares a deep bond with the Como area. The folds and transparency of the fabric accentuates only the desire to disperse the initial image, losing it, quelling it, making it distant memories as it happens, possibly even in our own memories. 

Cacciuttolo currently lives and works in London.
