8 is the initial series of images by Sabrina Sanfelice and Rafa Carvalho, part of the project “Datiluzgrafia”. 8 fragments out of Roland Barthes’ ones. 8 as the infinite standing, signing the reaching power of our limits. Barthes, especially with his “A lover’s discourse”, is chosen as the first reference by the overview he expresses and shares about Photography and the universe of images, as well as love - or the loving condition - speech spoken by thousands of people, but not specifically supported by any human language. So, at the human limit: what is seen, more than what it is, is the artists choice, once according to them that is what guides all human relationships in the world.

The luck of finding such a title in Barthes, synthesizes itself in these 8 images the impulse of search for meaning to what, in fact, is already explicit in the searching for the feeling itself. We effort every word and every photograph to touch our pulses for life and with it, above all, what makes it true, relationships, love. The photographic image - a final appeal - the eternal freezing of an ephemeral moment, the crying for memory of who we are as eternal lovers, wandering through the universe of languages, asking for explanations for what we feel and know, sometimes conscious, sometimes not, that is embracing, multiple, constant and cyclic in each one of us.
