“Rainbows” video is the third collaboration with jazz singer and composer Jeanie Barton. Her  wonderful voice goes with my abstract photos: colors of decomposed papers of torn publicity posters and natural cracks and scratches. “Rainbows” song is from the new album released by Jeanie: “Moments of Clarity”. I’m so proud about this clip which mixes and matches again Jeanie’s wonderful voice and music with my visual works; they aren’t paintings or digitally made compositions, but macro photos of reality around us.

Infos about the videoclip: “Rainbows” :  Composition and vocals by Jeanie Barton;  production by Simon Paterson; Photography and video by Roberto Alborghetti.

ABOUT MY LACER/ACTIONS PROJECT

“LaceR/Actions” is a multidisciplinary project and research about the apparent chaos of ripped and decomposed publicity posters, natural cracks, crevices, scratches and urban and industrial signs and tokens (during my research around the world  I  collected so far about 120.000 macro photos). Transferred on canvases, reproduced on lithographic prints or textiles (as pure silk), re-built on collages or scanned in videoclips, the macro images of torn and disfigured posters and natural cracks give new meanings and expressions to paper lacerations and matter decomposition.

Two of my solo shows was displaced at the Aldobrandesca Fortress (XIII Century) in Tuscany and at the Romanesque St. John Baptistery (XI Century) on Lake Como. In the last years I worked on these projects:  “Contemplations and Lacer/actions” (album, videoclip, installations, inspired by Thomas of Bergamo Scripts, 1563-1631), “Atelier of Colors and Emotions” (a project which involved autistic kids), “Lacer/actions on Aluminium” (11 installations for Fai Private Collection, Italy). My artworks are part of Contemporary Art Collection (Mercatello sul Metauro, Marche, Italy) and participating to “An Exhibition, a Restoration” in Norcia (Umbria, Italy). The amazing “Ghost Bus” project was carried out with Bartons Plc and Act Group, Beeston, Nottingham, UK, with lot of events including short films premieres and public conversations.
