“The memory saves the images even after removing them.
Those images tend to surface in the form of impressions, deja vu.
Clear cache is a catalog of digital epiphanies, deleted screenshots,
and details of shots that become macroscopic”

“La memoria conserva le immagini anche dopo averle rimosse.
Quelle immagini tendono a riemergere sotto forma di impressioni, deja-vu.
Clear cache è un catalogo di epifanie digitali, di screenshot cancellati,
dettagli di inquadrature che diventano macroscopici”.

MP5

MP5 and 56 Fili Studio collaborated to produce the series called “Clear Cache”.

This residency provided the artist with an opportunity to work with the silkscreen technique after 10 years.

The three silkscreen editions showcase the artist’s distinctive style, characterized by the prominent use of black and white silhouettes on flat, colored backgrounds.

The works depict the artist’s aesthetic style without any disguise, creating thought-provoking and politically charged pieces.
