This proposition for the Girls group show stages a dialogue between two series investigating
the representation of femininity and the instability of the image. Drawing inspiration from
the myth of Narcissus, it explores the relationship between self-image, perception, and the
act of looking.
The image is treated as a mutable surface—one that can bend, dissolve, and be continuously
reshaped through perception, memory, and interpretation. Produced blindly in darkness and
abruptly flashed, the photographs reveal only a brief instant of strangeness and
intimacy.
The work moves between desire, vulnerability, and the tension between exposure and
anonymity.

Fragments of debris and memories crumble with time, dissolving into the shadow of your
memory. Dark liquid, deeper than the abyss, a secret place where nothing is lost and
everything transforms. Subjective death at the threshold of consciousness, an identity that
exists beyond the body. This fragile balance of fragments you leave behind is a futile
struggle against the erosion of time, both mother and father of a matter in constant
motion.
It’s Almost Nothing is the imprint of a memory whose faces have been washed away by time,
leaving only the material trace of an eternal fragility. This longitudinal project retraces
an identity investigation, grounded in intrinsic observation.
For several months, Giulietta Margot, has collected fragments from her grandfather’s
archives — a physician, pharmacologist, and neuroscience researcher — in order to
reinterpret the fragility of memory through photographic research.
In parallel, she works with the photographic material itself, exploring the silver relics of
forgotten laboratories: papers, films, expired chemicals. She lets them react, transform,
and create “non-images” that appear and disappear, in symbiosis with time and chance. Each
surface becomes a fragile terrain, a tangible echo of memory eroding, where the visible and
the invisible coexist.
It's almost nothing, but almost.

NOWHERE HOME is an exhibition in what could be a home. It is about homes and about built
images of homes.
It showcases photographs by Giulietta Margot of fala’s works. Photographs within homes, and
without homes. Photographs as fragmented homeliness.
The intimate and the dreamy confront the designed, the crafted. Cats and columns become
shadows, shades of grey. Time is measured in square meters. Square meters are approached as
captured light.
fala’s buildings are no more than a case in point. Photography and architecture appear as
crippled acts of expression—siamese twins relying on each other to get by. Twin escape
routes, away from the objective.
Based on a visual research carried out for Fala, NOWHERE HOME took shape in an editorial
format through which Giulietta Margot explore space and its possibilities. The project
embodies a sensory and philosophical approach to the house. Confronting the sterility of
traditional architectural representation, this photographic work reveals, through analogy,
the value of the house as a space of freedom. The tangible rigidity of walls is redefined by
a contemporary domesticity. Shielded from the gaze of others, free from all social
constructs, rules dissipate. The images do not account for structural logic, which
ultimately belongs to their creator, but rather evoke a dimension where time is measured in
square meters. A memory of the intimate, the photographs become liminal spaces where the
void is grainy and sunsets fade to shades of grey.
Fala is an architecture practice founded in 2013 and based in Porto, Portugal. Its work has
been presented and exhibited in various universities and institutions worldwide, and has
also been the object of monographic issues of 2G (#80, Walther König, 2019) and A+U (#637,
Shinkenchiku, 2023).
NOWHERE HOME is a limited edition of 100 copies, distributed through Exemplo Book,
conceived as both a visual and tactile object.

2024 - ongoing research
The house is approached as a territory of intimacy, shaped by memory, fiction, and
perception. These spaces oscillate between comfort and unease, nostalgia and disturbance,
intimacy and estrangement, unfolding like dream sequences in which reality continually
dissolves and reconstitutes itself. The photographic process involves both bodily
displacement and the circulation of the gaze. Through sustained observation of the
surrounding environment, attention lingers on insignificant, fragile, or overlooked elements
— the interstices of space and time, like forms of punctuation — in order to articulate
suspended moments. Treating the real as an inexhaustible visual material, rich with infinite
modulations and variations, the work becomes an invitation to explore the photographic
field, where each act of looking has the potential to reveal another dimension.

Long after the vows have faded and the corsets begin to loosen. Discarded heels beneath
tables. Spilled champagne staining white fabric. Abandoned bouquets. Appearances at rest.
Dances slipping into disarray.
During a wedding, the focus turns away from the ceremony itself and toward its margins.
Turning from this theater of love — where gestures, bodies, and emotions follow inherited
scripts — attention shifts to what quietly unfolds behind the scenes. Moving beyond expected
wedding imagery, the camera records what resists choreography: tender, grotesque, awkward
fragments where the spectacle collapses, where love sheds its veil and becomes something
raw, ordinary, fragile. By embracing blur, misframing, and photographic “failure,” the work
disrupts the normative aesthetics of wedding imagery and resists the production of idealized
memory. What surfaces in these interstitial spaces is no longer the myth of love, but its
material remainder, vulnerable, contingent, profoundly human.
