"This conversation offers a way of rethinking the use of archetypes. Image does not obey to the linear and chronlogical rules of communication like writing and reading. Imaging enables you to send and recieve multiple messages at the same time, while the rules for decoding are based on trust and familiarity between M and F."

Does this exhibition remain static? Probably not. The experiment aims to follow a growth model. ๐จ๏ธ
> April 10th: The initial installation of the exhibited pictures was presented.
> May 2nd: The "finissage" serves as the final synthesis.
By the final day, the visitors' observations are incorporated into the research journal. A printer in the exhibiting environment, as an invitation to complement the space with new imagery, creating new connections by the participants of the finissage.

The mplusfplus is an ongoing research project which is based on visual conversation between Zalka Mรกrton and Francesco Dipierro. The researchers (M andF) typically publish this image-based dialogue via photobooks and Instagram; this exhibition functions as a physicalized research journal.
This experiment of the exhibition posits that the visual dialogue is not merely a medium, but a photographic apparatus that challenges linear communication. Unlike this descriptive text, which follows a rigid logical structure, the images used by M andF operate through simultaneous visual transmission, communicating everything at once. This study (the exhibition) works as a spatial correlation, seeing all images at once.
๐ฏ. ๐๐ฏ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐:
While the setup and display is inspired by and leaning into scientific research and archiving methods, providing a structural logic for the exhibition, the workflow of M and F is far more intimate. At its core, this project documents the public disclosure of a private visual dialogue. M and F do not merely curate each other โ they read each other. In their practice, a photograph is never just an image; it is a tool for communication. Their work functions as a continuous, non-linear interaction, and their research topic is the communication itself. Each image serves as both a stimulus (a prompt) and a response (an interpretation), constructing a shared language based on mutual trust and associative partnership. M and F do not produce new images specifically for this purpose. Instead, they mine their own personal archives โ the photos they take daily. These images are building blocks, pulled from a digital archive to see how they resonate with the othersโ visual proposal. It is a shared, unpredictable conversation between M andF that opens up to whoever steps foot in the exhibiting space.
