RMHC. The Shaping of an Archive for the 90s Roman Hardcore Community

Abstract

The scattered images here gathered document part of an archive of ‘finds’ from the 80s and 90s Hardcore- Punk music community from Rome, collected during seven years research for the shooting of the feature documentary film RMHC - 1989/1999 Hardcore a Roma. This photo essay and related introduction unroll the different kinds of approaches used by the artist within
the community, in order to establish an ordered list of the events told by the interviewed members of the scene, to determine a cultural knowledge upon material that so far struggled to be considered as worth to be shared, and to shape, through a work of ‘translation’, a choral film narrative which would stand clear even to a non-community/wider audience.
