EXPOSIOCIO’ INTERNACIONAL DE PINTURA Y FOTOGRAFIA, CASA BATLO’, BARCELLONA

The exhibition is a journey through five series, each with its own place, time and history.

THE EXHIBITION IS THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S FIRST SOLO SHOW IN MILAN, AT THE BRAND NEW VENUE THE YAH FACTORY.

Le serie ‘The Great Collapse’ e ‘Lagomlepsy’ aprono la mostra regalandoci un senso di dolcissima nostalgia, un’alternanza tra spazi chiusi e spazi aperti che ci spaventa ma conforta allo stesso tempo, facendoci viaggiare per terre e acque lontane.

Percorriamo dunque il mare della serie ‘Hiraeth’ fatto di ninfee, di sirene, figure eteree congelate in un istante, fissate nel battito di ciglia della macchina da ripresa.

Passiamo poi alla serie ‘Nantes Lubricis Pelagi’, dove la macchina fotografica è silenziosa e osserva, lasciando nella sua intimità la figura di una nuotatrice, soggetto metaforico-contemporaneo protetto da una lastra sottile che opacizza come una nebbia il corpo ed il suo colore, lasciandone intravedere solamente i gesti e le movenze.

'Atlas Over Arteries’ incornicia il percorso espositivo lasciando protagonisti pelle ed elementi naturali che impercettibilmente si fondono, divenendo ibridi e complici, coesistendo in armonia e completandosi a vicenda.
