PHOTO SUMMER FESTIVAL ’26: IMAGES TO RETURN TO OBSERVING THE WORLD OF OUR CITIES (#1)

Welcome to the Photo Summer Festival! Over the next few months, I’d like to explore a series of images I’ve recently taken in various cities. It’s like a summer shower of color that washes and drenches the walls along the streets of Rome, Barcelona, ​​Bari and London. They are close-up photographs of what passes before… Read More PHOTO SUMMER FESTIVAL ’26: IMAGES TO RETURN TO OBSERVING THE WORLD OF OUR CITIES (#1)

THE OTHER MARSEILLE (L’AUTRE MARSEILLE): AN OPEN-AIR CONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY – IMAGE #5

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 #5

NOTTINGHAM AND BEESTON ARE “ABSTRACTIVE”: SCENES AND COLORS ON THE WALLS ALONG THE STREETS

Nottingham and Beeston are Abstract… This is a play on words to say how the walls of all our cities are a sort of open-air museum of “informal” art. We can see things we can’t even imagine. There’s a visible parallel world in the decomposition of paper, wood, iron, and paint. We can discover it… Read More NOTTINGHAM AND BEESTON ARE “ABSTRACTIVE”: SCENES AND COLORS ON THE WALLS ALONG THE STREETS

THE TORN (PUBLI)CITY /“FADED WORDS” ON ADVERTISING POSTERS ON BILLBOARDS ALONG THE ROADS

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 THE TORN (PUBLI)CITY /“FADED WORDS” ON ADVERTISING POSTERS ON BILLBOARDS ALONG THE ROADS

FROM STREET WALLS TO INTERIOR DESIGN: ABSTRACT PHOTOGRAPH AS ARTISTIC FURNISHING COMPLEMENT #13

The artwork in the photo is a collage (Labyrinth) made by © Roberto Alborghetti using waste paper of torn and deteriorated publicity posters. How might the photographic images I took for my project “Lacer/azioni” appear inside a house or a studio? Technology can help us imagine an answer to the question. In this series of… Read More FROM STREET WALLS TO INTERIOR DESIGN: ABSTRACT PHOTOGRAPH AS ARTISTIC FURNISHING COMPLEMENT #13

SOMEONE IS WATCHING US FROM THE WALLS / PHOTOS OF EYES IN TORN AND DECOMPOSED PUBLICITY POSTERS (#11)

© 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 (#11)

FANTASTIC COLORS ALONG THE ROADS: “BEESTON IS ABSTRACTIVE”. A VIDEO SUPPORTING TOWN OF CULTURE 2028 BID

Fantastic colors and where to find them along Beeston roads, Nottinghamshire.
