"The Owner as Witness". What I would like to say to the person about the holder of my works

This text is the Statement that is given to the owner of my works.
I consider my relationship with the substance, the substance the work is made of, my relationship with the work and my idea of what a work is. It touches points such as what is the meaning of the work for the person creating it, and what does the artist expect from the person viewing it, experiencing it and who will go on to possess it. I ask myself whether it is more important to keep the process alive and open now or to crystalise and freeze the act over time. Should I underline its temporal and transient nature or its stability and longevity? It provides indications about collecting the work, taking care of it, preserving it and dealing or not with the question of restoration.

Apparatuses
"I decide to use all of those elements usually considered as equipment, tools, systems which transmit the work, such as the caption, the site, the archive etc., as an integral part of my work. It is almost as though I were going to define a sort of ecosystem, a world that is capable of defining itself.
All the works that are part of other series also belong to this one." Maria Morganti (2023)

Artist's writings
The elements that make up the usual act of an artist’s writing are used here as an integral part of the system-process-work, so much so that I decided to catalogue them in the archive not just as documents but also as works.
They were written either because other artists asked for them, or they accompanied projects, or were read during conferences, or are published works and new writings. They are writings that almost never have an assertive-declarative structure, but which could rather be described as an epistolary-text, a confessional-text, an explicative-text of a feeling, an empathetic-text, a dedication-text, a description-text, a diary-text, an examination-text, a dialogue-text, etc.
