ABOUT THIS SERIES
The Horizons series is based on parts of the photographic film leaders, self-exposed by light while loading a camera. Light radiation acts directly onto the photosensitive material before any pictures are taken and without the intention of the photographer. The Horizons are created from discarded materials of the photo-chemical process. They are actual artist’s appropriations.
Each Horizon reveals a threshold, the clear limit between light and darkness, between matter and language. Through this series I develop the concept of photographs before the picture.
The Horizons are visible forms of light: they are photo–graphs, true photographs and not off camera works.
The Horizons may be seen as the last photographs of XX Century: language manifests itself without a human intervention or, in a different way, man and language need no outside object to dialogue with each other any longer.
These photographs are truly the most objective ones: abstraction and objectivity coincide.
Gli Orizzonti sono scritture di luce auto-generate durante il processo di caricamento dell’apparecchio fotografico oltre la coscienza e la volontà del fotografo. Sono manifestazioni sensibili della luce impresse sulla superficie foto-sensibile, prima che essa registri la prima immagine voluta dal fotografo: sono immagini prima del tempo, in forma latente già attive prima dell’incontro con lo sguardo e l’esperienza del fotografo.
Ogni Orizzonte è uno scarto del processo fotografico, lo spezzone iniziale della pellicola fotografica sviluppata assieme all’intera striscia di materiale sensibile per rivelarne tutte le immagini impresse, le sue 36 vere fotografie. Si tratta di un processo off camera che avviene in camera: un paradosso che produce immagini pre-fotografiche scritte direttamente dalla luce.
Queste opere rappresentano un confine tra oggettività fotografica e astrazione, intendendo questo termine non come immagine non-referenziale, ma pura interpretazione della luce, fotograficamente rivelata.
