This photo gallery – in festive colours: the images look like snow deposited on a red carpet – features 9 enlargements of random images of red cracks and scratches that I took in London, in October 2014, for my project “Lacer/Actions” and research on decomposed and dismantled advertising posters, natural cracks, industrial and urban “signs”. The photos were taken from an iron slab along Victoria Embankment.

Questa galleria fotografica – dai colori festivi: le immagini sembrano neve depositata su un tappeto rosso – presenta 9 ingrandimenti di immagini casuali di crepe e graffi rossi che ho scattato a Londra, nell’ottobre 2014, per il mio progetto “Lacer/Actions” e ricerca su strappi e manifesti pubblicitari scomposti, crepe naturali, “segni” industriali e urbani. Le foto sono state scattate attorno ad una lastra di ferro lungo Victoria Embankment.

 ABOUT “LACER/ACTIONS”

LaceR/Actions is a multidisciplinary project and research about the apparent chaos of ripped and decomposed publicity posters, natural cracks, scratches and urban and industrial signs (during my research around the world  I  collected so far about 180.000 images). Transferred on canvases, reproduced on lithographic prints or textiles (as pure silk), re-built on collages or scanned in videoclips, the images of torn and disfigured posters and natural cracks give new meanings and expressions to paper lacerations and matter decomposition

One of my most recent shows (“Colors of an Apocalypse: An Intrigue for the Eyes and Mind from the Decomposed Publicity Posters”) was displaced for 100 days in the enchanting Aldobrandesca Fortress (XIII Century) in Tuscany (Piancastagnaio, Siena, Italy). In the last two years I was 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 works are part of Contemporary Art Collection (Mercatello sul Metauro, Marche, Italy) and participating to “An Exhibition, a Restoration” in Norcia (Umbria, Italy) from July 12 to September 7, 2014. Now I’m working on “The Ghost Bus” project, in collaboration with Bartons Plc and Act Group, Beeston, Nottingham, UK (January-February 2015).
