Giorgio Di Noto explores photography as an unstable and ambiguous medium, suspended between documentation and invention. His latest project delves into the storage rooms, conservation labs and photographic archives of the Museo Nazionale Romano, places that preserve the past rather than display it. Engaging with ancient sculptures, mosaics, frescoes and everyday objects, as well as historical photographic materials, Di Noto reveals how images both record and reshape what they depict. His work uncovers the hidden manipulations that isolate artifacts by erasing their surroundings, turning visibility into an act of subtraction. In his hands, the document becomes an artifact, technical intervention becomes creative gesture and the archive becomes a site of reinvention. Di Noto reminds us that archaeology, like photography, is never neutral. Every image is a choice, a construction and a process that continues to change over time.
