Vincent Zanni
La Maison
La Maison is a photographic installation that serves as an emotional journey of the artist, delving into the fear of being forgotten and the importance of preserving memories. The work shows photographs of the artist’s family displayed inside water tanks which, overtime, will be destroyed. By exploring the connection between the family house and personal legacy, this project embraces the profound impact of places, sounds, and images on our recollections. With La Maison, Vincent aims to convey the essence of memory preservation and encourage viewers to reflect upon their own experiences of attachment, loss, and remembrance.
Vincent Zanni is a visual artist who explores the potential of photography through a labour-intensive and analog methodology. He combines traditional and contemporary techniques like cyanotypes and wetplate to emphasise the significance of the process and materials used in his work. Vincent provokes contemplation on the ever-changing dynamics of memory, loss, and familial heritage, pushing the boundaries of conventional practices. His experimental approach in the darkroom and exploration of family archives contribute to the ongoing dialogue on the transformative potential of photography in contemporary society. Through the materiality and transience of the photograph, he aspires to explore the relationship between images, memories, and the evolving fabric of our lives.
