Mindsite - Part 1

Work description and interpretation
The Website ad a meta-work. It is the space that I have envisioned as a connection between outside and in. I see it as a fissure between my interior world and the external one. Out of fear of being misunderstood, of feeling that I have been reduced merely to what the perception of the image refers to, I wanted to try to bring the word closer to my work. A word that is not so much an explanation and interpretation as a reasoning and annotation about the sequence of events which accompany the gesture and the process. It is an organism in motion which will always have the possibility of changing the view of things.

Series description and interpretation
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.
