Trabbucche Memory

Trabbucche Memory seeks to rediscover, through play, the memory of an almost forgotten activity. The illustrations on the cards are the result of artisanal and experimental prints obtained by inking and imprinting the structural elements of the Trabucco Santa Croce in Vieste, along with objects found during the exploration of its surrounding environment. The openness to the randomness of the marks generated by this process encouraged a formal study of the signs and the discovery of new possibilities for representing these elements. The project is based on the idea of leaving a trace — both physically on paper and in people’s memory — through the visual interpretation of the characteristic elements of the trabucco, and by using the local dialect to embed the visual forms through the sound of words.
