 the visual grammar of low resolution: what we see is what it is, transfigured into image. By means of video, Simonetta Fadda gives visibility to the individual and common rituals of the territory's social use, from Genova Pissing (1993)-where the video camera watches a corner in the street, turned into public urinal-, to Savona Ore Diciotto (1993)-which captures the small town’s tradition of the daily Memorial Celebration, between private memory and public rhetoric-, to Tecnoriti (Videoarte and Telefonite, 1998)-which ridicules the maniacal abuse of mobiles and video or photo cameras-always and everywhere-, to Peints de vue (2001)-on the green Corsican landscape, everywhere charged by the signs of tension of the nationalist graffiti. Between the forms of common life and the urban rituals, Simonetta Fadda unveils, by means of video, the texture of the common attitudes, as an expression of hierarchies of values, which are inherentiin the social structure. Her sociological care is always in relation with the problems involved by such questions.
