© Roberto Alborghetti Each season has its colors. But what colors does winter have? Easy to answer, just look around … The torn advertising posters on billboards also have winter colors. So, through my macro photos I tried to imagine a color palette … Yes, trails of snow and ice, in exclusive for my LaceR/Actions research, which… Read More THE FOUR SEASONS IN LACER/ACTIONS: WINTER #3

A glimpse of forest? A trampled lawn? It is certainly an image of Cracks. Cracks is part of my Lacer/actions Project which investigates… Read More THE CRACKS FILES / JUST A CORRODED SURFACE ON AN IRON STOOL
Cracks is part of my Lacer/actions Project, a multidisciplinary project and research about the apparent chaos of ripped and decomposed publicity posters, natural cracks, crevices, scratches and urban and industrial corrosions (I’ve collected so far more than 120.000 photos…).

Ten years ago – it was 2009 – I published a portfolio dedicated to my “Lacer / Actions” project and reseacrh. I wanted to tell people about my hobby of photographing the decomposition of torn advertising posters. And I wanted to publish some of the tens of thousands of macro images I had already taken… Read More JUST FOR 2 DAYS: FREE DOWNLOAD OF “LACER/ACTIONS” PORTFOLIO (PUBLISHED IN 2009)

After the advertisement has been torn and removed from the billboards, traces and marks of ink, glue and residuals of paper can be glimpsed on the surface. In my opinion, this is a unique spectacle. An open-air exhibition. Our eye can read and admire strange shapes and a sort of codes – like the numbers… Read More THE TORN (PUBLI)CITY: NUMBERS & CODES LEFT ON ADVERTISING BOARDS

THE COVER REPRODUCES MY ARTWORK MADE WITH WASTE PAPER

It is not a painting. It is not an acrylic. It is not an oil. And not even a collage. It is a simple photographic image.… Read More 1969-2019, CELEBRATING THE MOON (PHOTO OF TORN PUBLICITY POSTER ON A BILLBOARD)
