Synopsis
Every month, for a year, a tapestry from the series Twelve Months has been inserted in various contexts, ranging from domestic settings to public spaces, from social situations to remote locations. Exploring the interconnectedness of artistic labour and everyday life, the tapestries have been worn as a garment, used as a blanket, a sun-shield, or a beach towel. They have been included in artistic actions and still-life compositions. They have been presented in art exhibitions, hanged in the forest, or carried around in a bag and used as a conversation starter. The installation includes a film in 12 chapters projected through AR (augmented reality) technology onto the respective “tapestry of the month”.
Project description
While referencing historical figurative cycles dedicated to the twelve months of the year, the project Twelve Months (2023-2024) reflects a personal, experiential, and affective treatment of time. Twelve Jacquard-woven tapestries present historical depictions of weavers at work, captioned with notes on the most prosaic aspects of everyday life, juxtaposed with meditations on time, labour, leisure, and contemporary modes of production. Each month, from March 2023 to February 2024, I carried a different piece from the series in various contexts, ranging from domestic settings to public spaces, from social situations to remote locations. The tapestries have been worn as a piece of garment, used as a blanket, a sun-shield, a beach towel, or included in artistic actions and still-life compositions; presented in art exhibitions, hanged in the forest, or simply carried around in a bag, ready to be shown on a one to one basis, thus setting off thought and dialogue with others. Whenever possible, this process was documented with video recordings.
In the resulting installation, the tapestries are stretched on a foldable room divider made of steel construction pipes and assembled with clamps. The spiral-like shape spatially translates multiple conceptions of time; the sequence of the screens for linearity, their flimsy concealment hinting at that which exists concurrently, the multiple temporalities interwoven together in a labyrinth where it is impossible to isolate sigle moments.
With an app especially developed and freely available on the AppStore, twelve one-minute-long videos are "projected" in AR onto the tapestries. The videos are interspersed with new notes reflecting on the year-long experience, and adopt note-writing’s peculiar fragmentary stratification of language and temporalities as a compositional principle. In addition, the different roles of author, narrator, and character are not always clearly defined and static, but interchange within the storytelling.
Motivations
Writing notes is playing with time beyond the linear, uniform, and unidirectional conception of time upon which the myth of progress and the currently dominant capitalist ideology are founded. Writing notes makes time revolve with repetitions, interruptions, accelerations, and associations. Because of its constitutive incompleteness, writing notes is production without immediate profit, an exercise in unlearning ideas of all-encompassing rationality, systematisation, or efficiency. The project is about disrupting time’s linearity, accepting, celebrating, and nurturing the constitutive disorder of life, reweighing affections, affinities, and unproductive time. It is a reminder to set time aside, while acknowledging the privilege of having such an opportunity, to find the poetry within the experience of everyday life.

Exploring the interconnectedness of artistic labour and everyday life, the tapestries have been worn as a garment, used as a blanket, a sun-shield, or a beach towel.

Project description
While referencing historical figurative cycles dedicated to the twelve months of the year, the project Twelve Months (2023-2024) reflects a personal, experiential, and affective treatment of time. Twelve Jacquard-woven tapestries present historical depictions of weavers at work, captioned with notes on the most prosaic aspects of everyday life, juxtaposed with meditations on time, labour, leisure, and contemporary modes of production. Each month, from March 2023 to February 2024, I carried a different piece from the series in various contexts, ranging from domestic settings to public spaces, from social situations to remote locations. The tapestries have been worn as a piece of garment, used as a blanket, a sun-shield, a beach towel, or included in artistic actions and still-life compositions; presented in art exhibitions, hanged in the forest, or simply carried around in a bag, ready to be shown on a one to one basis, thus setting off thought and dialogue with others. Whenever possible, this process was documented with video recordings.
In the resulting installation, the tapestries are stretched on a foldable room divider made of steel construction pipes and assembled with clamps. The spiral-like shape spatially translates multiple conceptions of time; the sequence of the screens for linearity, their flimsy concealment hinting at that which exists concurrently, the multiple temporalities interwoven together in a labyrinth where it is impossible to isolate sigle moments.
With an app especially developed and freely available on the AppStore, twelve one-minute-long videos are "projected" in AR onto the tapestries. The videos are interspersed with new notes reflecting on the year-long experience, and adopt note-writing’s peculiar fragmentary stratification of language and temporalities as a compositional principle. In addition, the different roles of author, narrator, and character are not always clearly defined and static, but interchange within the storytelling.

Writing notes is playing with time beyond the linear, uniform, and unidirectional conception of time upon which the myth of progress and the currently dominant capitalist ideology are founded. Writing notes makes time revolve with repetitions, interruptions, accelerations, and associations. Because of its constitutive incompleteness, writing notes is production without immediate profit, an exercise in unlearning ideas of all-encompassing rationality, systematisation, or efficiency. The project is about disrupting time’s linearity, accepting, celebrating, and nurturing the constitutive disorder of life, reweighing affections, affinities, and unproductive time. It is a reminder to set time aside, while acknowledging the privilege of having such an opportunity, to find the poetry within the experience of everyday life.
