You find Room #7 in the highest place of the historic castle. It’s a sort of hidden space you have to discover at the end of your visit at the exhibition.

Roberto Alborghetti ‘s LaceR/Actions is a multidisciplinary project and research about the apparent chaos of ripped and decomposed publicity posters and urban/street signs. He has already collected, around the world, more than 40.000 images.
Transferred on canvas, reproduced on lithographs, collages or textiles (as pure silk), or scanned in videoclips, the details of torn and ripped posters give new life to paper lacerations and decomposition.

I love the title. The colors and composition are gorgeous and the shape of the canvas is very cinematic. In fact the entire feeling from the piece is cinematic. I love this one. I think it is my favorite so far.
Thank you Lanier! It’s one of my first collages…and I agree with you… Yes, cinematic! I perceive in it some Hitchcock atmosphere… Vertigo?… Have a nice day!!!
YES! That is exactly the feeling, “Vertigo”! Thanks Roberto for solving the puzzle I was trying to piece together of the feelings I got from this wonderful piece.
And thank to you for having enlighted in me something I was looking for so far! That’s the magic of web and having friends like you!
