Macchina da scrivere by Oriella Montin

Artwork Description

Original title of the artwork: Macchina da scrivere / Typewriter

"The typewriter has always been a symbol of an era, suffice it think of the famous Olivetti Lettera 35 and the artist proposes one of his own version. The peculiarity of its creation, in addition to the gauged cover, lies in this case in the keys that go to symbolize single people, unknown and pleasant faces, with a typing attempt representing a nonword, a hypothetical letter, an epistolary relationship interrupted because of the mass media speed that burned the meditative and suggestive slowness of a time now passed." - Francesca Baboni
