AUTORITRATTO is a work consisting of a video-animation and a video that forms part of a series inspired in my family and which also includes the video-animation FABER, the artist’s book BETWEEN US and the creative documentary AS IF I WASN’T HERE.
Drawing, Francesco Bartoli 2012
This four works were developed at three different stages of my life but belong to the same train of thought. Three different media joined together by my reflections on the place where I was raised and the personages that still inhabit it. The strangeness experienced when I encountered the same context years later, the memories that came up in the conversations about the past, and a constant examination on my present role as an artist, are just some of the emotions and themes developed in this series.

I was looking for understanding in a place I had always believed to be little receptive and instead found acceptance and unlimited respect; a kind of abnegation that the members of my family feel towards a person that was able to become detached from the overwhelming bond one has with his roots. The contradictory feelings and the doubts experienced during my short visits home prompted this ever-changing self-portrait composed of the places and characters of my childhood. However, I voluntarily left out from this autoritratto the images of my present.
