Twenty “signs o’ the times”. Twenty scenes from the walls of a city (Bari, Italy). In this photo-gallery I present some of the pictures I gathered for my “Lacer/actions” project-research. As I usually like to say, they’re not paintings, they’re not created by the brush of a painter, but simply by the case. They’re abstract… Read More SIGNS OF THE TIMES (VIDEO): 20 MACRO PHOTOS (FROM 140,000 COLLECTED SO FAR)
I created this video for my “Lacer/actions” project-research about torn and decomposed publicity posters, natural cracks and scratches, industrial and urban matters.

Cities reveal themselves also through random images of ripped and decomposed publicity posters and natural decompositions we may see along the streets. In this video I gathered some macro photos I took in Monterotondo,which is located at the gates of Rome. Rust, papers, glue, dust, spray colors residuals and other materials mixed with torn posters… Read More MACROPHOTOGRAPHY ON VIDEO #3 / RUST, PAPERS, DUST AND GLUE

Article posted 10 years ago after my participation at Parallax Art Fair in London. The Parallax AF days are over. The art show at La Galleria (Royal Opera Arcade, Pall Mall) in London was surely a good occasion to meet artists and people.

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).

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.

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…
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?
Welcome to the “projection game”! Since I started documenting, with the camera, the world of the decomposition of materials, people have always been spontaneously pushed to see, in my macro images, worlds and dimensions that I had never imagined. I think it is one of the most interesting aspects of my research project. Today I… Read More “PROJECTION GAME”#3 / THAT BLACK HALF MOON IS WATCHING US …
