Our Days of Gold, Italian Cultural Institute, Hamburg, 2019.
Collaborative exhibition that reflects on authorship, technological mediation, and the dynamics between artists, technicians, and tools. Developed with photographer and master printer Daniel T. Wheeler, the project draws from Assunta Ruocco’s analogue photographic archive (2002–2007), which she has been sharing via Instagram as @ourdaysofgold_film. Wheeler selected and hand-printed images from the archive, offering his own interpretation of family life, gender identity, and the rituals of adolescence and middle age. The exhibition examines how domestic constraints, evolving technologies, and collaborative processes shape the emergence and reactivation of photographic work, bridging the digital and analogue, the personal and the procedural.
