“If I adapt myself to some hidden parameter, I’m able to read hidden patterns. Senses of world appears through any object I observe, onto which, at the same time, I project every single micro-macro information associated with it or with one of its accidents. These associations seem to have no kind of temporality perception.”

Mixedmedia sculpture inspired by the historical character ‘Manetho’.

Manetho, is considered the author of the Aegyptiaca (Gr. Aigyptiakà), or History of Egypt, commissioned by Ptolemy II Philadelphus.

This work is of primary interest to Egyptologists for the information it provides on the chronology of reigns of the ancient pharaohs.

It may have been the most impressive work attributed to Manetho: certainly the most important.

It was organized in chronological order and divided into three books.

The visor on the face of the sculpture alludes to the possibility of looking back in time.

In any case, the oldest known mention of the Aegyptiaca is by writer Flavius ​​Josephus in his work Against Apion (Contra Apionem), after 94 AD.

No writing from the previous three centuries has been preserved that names the Aegyptiaca: this has raised serious doubts about the real date and authorship of the work.
