MADE OVER THE COURSE OF 10 YEARS, OYSTER IS A VISUAL DIARY
COMPILED BY MARZOCCHI. USING ARCHIVAL AND ORIGINAL IMAGERY,
THE ARTIST RANSACKS THE PAST TO BUILD A PRESENT IN A PROCESS
OF FORGIVING AND LETTING GO, AS A SEARCH TO FIND LOVE
AND HEALING.
“THIS WORK REPRESENTS MY EXPERIENCE IN RECOVERING
AND UNDERSTANDING MY PARENTS, THEIR LIFE AND THEIR
RELATIONSHIP TOWARDS MYSELF. I NEVER KNEW THEM WELL
BECAUSE THEY SPLIT WHEN I WAS 6 YEARS OLD, AND THEY BOTH
DIED YOUNG. DRUGS, ADDICTIONS, JAIL AND DYSFUNCTIONAL
ENVIRONMENT, THESE WERE CONSTANT ELEMENTS.
THIS WORK IS FOCUSED ON DEALING AND REPLACING
ALL THE DOUBTS AND THE FEARS THAT I HAD.
EXORCISING THE PAIN AND THE SEARCHING FOR LOVE.”
