THE OTHER MARSEILLE (L’AUTRE MARSEILLE): AN OPEN-AIR CONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY – IMAGE #1

All cities, even the smallest, always hold many surprises for my research into the art of decay and deterioration. I have no difficulty identifying marks, scratches, corrosion, cracks, and various disfigurements. After all, all of this speaks to the vitality of a city, an urban center. The passage of time, and of people, deposits practical… Read More THE OTHER MARSEILLE (L’AUTRE MARSEILLE): AN OPEN-AIR CONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY – IMAGE #1

THE INVISIBLE WALL / CLOSE-UP PHOTOS OF URBAN DECAY IN LOCARNO, SWITZERLAND – IMAGE #6

© Roberto Alborghetti  In Locarno, a beautiful city in Italian-speaking Switzerland, I happened upon a wall that immediately caught my attention. It’s located near the cycle/pedestrian path that leads from Locarno to Ascona.

THAT FASCINATING DECAY OF ADVERTISING POSTERS ON BILLBOARDS ALONG THE ROADS… (SHORT VIDEO)

Advertisements and posters have always provided material and inspiration for modern art. Some artists removed sections of posters from billboards and then glued them onto canvas, with very interesting effects. I believe the deterioration of outdoor paper advertising can emerge and transform into another language through photography and close-up photography. This is the purpose of… Read More THAT FASCINATING DECAY OF ADVERTISING POSTERS ON BILLBOARDS ALONG THE ROADS… (SHORT VIDEO)

SOMEONE IS WATCHING US FROM THE WALLS / PHOTOS OF EYES IN TORN AND DECOMPOSED PUBLICITY POSTERS (#9)

© Roberto Alborghetti There are eyes that always “look” at us. They are those of the faces on the advertising posters on the walls or on the billboards, along the streets of our cities. The torn paper of the advertisements, consumed by time and bad weather, can reveal interesting glimpses and elements, such as those… Read More SOMEONE IS WATCHING US FROM THE WALLS / PHOTOS OF EYES IN TORN AND DECOMPOSED PUBLICITY POSTERS (#9)

PLACES / STRASBOURG: THE WONDERFUL GOTHIC CATHEDRAL OF NOTRE DAME (SHORT VIDEO)

Europe’s great cathedrals have always expressed and recounted the continent’s essence and culture. One example is Strasbourg Cathedral (Notre-Dame de Strasbourg), built in Alsace, France, a historically strategic area, not only for its geographical location.

FROM DENMARK TO ITALY: A MACRO PHOTO I TOOK IN THE STREETS OF COPENHAGEN IS NOW IN A 17TH-CENTURY HOUSE

From Denmark to Italy. From Copenhagen to Bitonto (Bari, Apulia). From a faded and frayed billboard to a canvas now displayed on the wall of an ancient residence. These are the strange and surprising trajectories linked to my research project Lacer/actions. A close-up photograph—which I took in the streets of the center of the Danish… Read More FROM DENMARK TO ITALY: A MACRO PHOTO I TOOK IN THE STREETS OF COPENHAGEN IS NOW IN A 17TH-CENTURY HOUSE
