The photograph was taken in 1992, two years after the first photo in the series (titled 'Don't forget 1'). A photographic performance not to forget, to remember the events of September 11th in New York. The sculpture in black marble, placed at the base of the two towers, has been interpreted in this photographic composition as an Egyptian pyramid. In this case, the irregular texture of the sculpture is intended, according to the artist who took the shot, to represent the primordial matter that, from the earth, gave rise to the regular vertical rhythm of the facades of the twin towers. The photo was taken on 35mm silver film. ---- La fotografia è stata ripresa nel 1992, due anni dopo della prima foto della serie (denominata “Don’t forget 1”). Una performance fotografica per non dimenticare per ricordare i fatti avvenuti l’11 settembre a New York. La scultura in marmo nero, posta alla base delle due torri è stata interpretata anche in questo taglio fotografico come una piramide egiziana. In questo caso, la trama irregolare della scultura vuole, secondo l’artista che ha realizzato lo scatto, essere la materia primordiale che dalla terra ha dato origine alla regolarità della scansione verticale delle facciate delle twin towers. La foto è stata ripresa su pellicola all’argento da 35mm.

Italy
Paolo Grassi was born in Tuscany and began photographing at a very young age in an analytical manner starting from 1976, after studying photographic technique and lighting based on the experiences of Andreas Feininger and Ansel Adams. For about 15 years, he explored the elements of nature and people through the filter of photographic film with a 35mm reflex camera, which, due to its compactness, accompanied him daily for many years in his visual exploration. Many images were captured on film, and only a small portion was personally printed in black and white in a darkroom. A significant aspect of this period is the photographic research conducted in Sardinia in 1979 (the year of the kidnapping of singer-songwriter Fabrizio De André in Gallura), where he interpreted and documented the environment, traditions, and faces of the people in black and white.
