Frammenti
Frammenti is an ongoing project by Karla Hiraldo Voleau that explores the affective lives and relationships of Italian teenagers in their final years of high school. Inspired by Pasolini’s Comizi d’Amore (1964), she travels across Italy to create a contemporary portrait of Gen Z, through personal interviews. Conducted entirely in Italian, there she examines themes such as evolving communication, dating, the influence of social media, and feminism in a currently binary society, grappling with issues like femicides, and facing a curious masculinity crisis. The project culminates in analog portraits paired with transcriptions of these conversations, presented as text-image compositions that weave together different personal experiences, in order to dive into the collective experience.
