Catalogue Note

" In quel tempo le immagini erano milioni.
Oggi, forse qualche centinaio.
Poi rimarrà solo questa copia sbiadita
di un tempo coloratissimo."
Alighiero Boetti 1984

"During that time images were millions.
Today, maybe a few hundred.
Then it will remain only this faded copy
from a colourful time"
