In this hot month of August 2021, I want to take you on a journey. It is obviously an imaginary journey that arises from the concrete and real images that I have seen and captured, with my camera. A few weeks ago, near the port of Bari, along the pier, I noticed two boats in… Read More IMAGINARY AUGUST JOURNEY AMONG THE COLORS OF TWO OLD BOATS SEEN IN BARI (ITALY)
Macrophotography on video. When the cracks – produced in all kinds of materials – take on a surprising dimension. Here is a series of macro images, for my “Lacer / Actions” project. Nothing is as it seems. Nothing is as it appears. Because everything is magnificently un-real. “Lacer/actions” is a project-research about the elements of… Read More MACROPHOTOGRAPHY ON VIDEO #2 / THE CRACKS: EVERYTHING IS MAGNIFICENTLY (UN)REAL
What do you see in these pics? These images aren’t paintings, but macro photos of the world around us. They were taken from poles along the streets in Lamezia Terme (Italy). They are part of Roberto Alborghetti ‘s project and research (called “Lacer/actions”) about decomposed publicity posters, natural cracks and scratches, urban and industrial matters.… Read More “PROJECTION GAME”#8 / THE VIDEO: WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THESE CRACKS?
This is picture #7 of our “projection game”. Reality is never what it seems. It is the macro photography of the torn and defaced paper of an advertising poster on a billboard outside. What does it show? A cone of light? A moon at midnight? A luminous ball? An unidentified flying object? Or something else?… Read More “PROJECTION GAME”#7 / REALITY IS NEVER WHAT IT SEEMS
This is picture #6 of our “projection game”. What does it show? It would seem a scene seen from above, from the windows of an airplane, while flying at a height of ten thousand meters: we see streets, squares, communication routes, urban districts … Instead it is something very close: a macro shot of a… Read More “PROJECTION GAME”#6 / IS IT LIKE IF WE FLY AT 10,000 METERS IN HEIGHT ABOVE A CITY?
This is picture #5 of our “projection game”. What does it show? The first image that comes to mind is that of a flower drawn by the snow. Instead it is a macro detail of the dirt left on the surface of a waste container. Since I started documenting, with the camera, the world of… Read More “PROJECTION GAME”#5 / IS IT A FLOWER DESIGNED BY SNOW? NO, IT’S A…
Macrophotography in video. Eight images (and 55 seconds) of rust for “Lacer / actions”, my project-research about the elements of the decomposition of the urban reality that surrounds us. Macrofotografia in video. Otto immagini (e 55 secondi) di ruggine per “Lacer/azioni”, il mio progetto ricerca sugli elementi della decomposizione della realtà urbana che ci circonda.
In the beginning it was like the big bang. Everything was blown up, as in a great explosion of light and matter. Yes, they call it primal chaos. These are the suggestions proposed by this macro photograph, which is part of a series relating to a large outdoor advertising billboard. The layers of paper, once… Read More “PROJECTION GAME”#4 / A GREAT EXPLOSION OF LIGHT AND MATTER: THE PRIMAL CHAOS?
Since the beginning of humanity there have always been those who have tried to read the clouds, the sky, the stars of the night, the signs of the earth. In practice, what is part of one’s inner world has always been projected onto the outside, in search of security, explanations, reassurance. I have always been… Read More “PROJECTION GAME” #2 / WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THE SCRATCHES OF AN OLD GATE?
Here is a macro photograph that becomes like a map. In recent days I captured this image on a shop window in Bitonto, Bari, Puglia. So it appeared from the outside, on the public road. I immediately read there archipelagos and imaginary continents to orient myself in parallel worlds (but not too much). Or can… Read More ARCHIPELAGOS OR SOMETHING ELSE? WELCOME TO THE “PROJECTION GAME” # 1
Macrophotography by Roberto Alborghetti. Pics of decomposed publicity posters, natural cracks and scratches of industrial and urban matters.
Tomorrow, June 15, a training course that I have the pleasure and the honor of conducting for the teachers of the Istituto Comprensivo Cassano-De Renzio will start in Bitonto, in the beautiful land of Puglia, in Southern Italy. The Headmaster, Anna Bellezza, convinced of the importance of the topic, proposed me and Funtasy Editrice to… Read More AN IMAGE FOR A TEACHER TRAINING COURSE ON WORDS AND CREATIVE WRITING
