Ugo Mulas wrote about the late series: ‘‘I have
given this name to this series of photographs
because my intention is to understand the sense of
the activities I have never ceased to accomplish, at
times up to 100 times a day for years, without ever
questioning them in themselves apart from their
utilitarian function.’’
