RiMembra

Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
RiMembra by Monica Biancardi is a unique reportage that gathers disjointed limbs scattered across diverse times and locations, linking them to varied physical and mental spaces without obvious connections. Each photograph stands alone yet holds a fragmentary significance that, through subtle lines of force, merges over years into other images. Through chromatic and conceptual diptychs and triptychs, moments from places like Taipa, Lucrino, San Francisco, Palestine, and Jerusalem interweave, evoking reflection and memories. The title combines "Ri" with "membra" (limbs) to represent how images generate new ones, creating an evolving collage that transcends single still shots.

Book Hero thinking about your next read

A reportage collecting limbs scattered in places and years, connecting them to physical or mental spaces, among which there is no pertinence. Each image comes into being by itself, independently, but with a mutilated value which, through its lines of force, even years later, merges into another image.

RiMembra is a reportage collecting limbs scattered in places and years, connecting them to physical or mental spaces, among which there is no pertinence. Each image comes into being by itself, independently, but with a mutilated value which, through its lines of force, even years later, merges into another image.

Diptychs and triptychs take shape through chromatic correspondences: the triptych composed of the light seeping into a temple of Taipa (2015) which seems to cross the woman's face in the sauna of Lucrino (2010) and to crash in a lake of San Francisco (2012); or conceptual ones, like the desert land in Palestine (2011), perfectly corresponding to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem (2014). Different moments reunited over the years that lead to reflection, to the call of mind, generating happy or unhappy memories.

Not surprisingly, the theme "Ri" is linked to the noun "membra" (limbs). In this way, the image is able to generate a new one and links developed along the way, creating a paradoxical collage in motion throughout time, which transcends the single still image.
