IT’S THE NIGHT OF THE BLUE MOON (BUT THIS ONE IS MADE OF WASTE PAPER)
This evening of Sunday 22 August 2021, the Italian skies will be illuminated by the splendid Full Moon of August. It will be the so-called “Blue Moon”. The fascinating denomination is not linked to color, but to rarity, since it is the third full moon in a season that has four (normally there are three).… Read More IT’S THE NIGHT OF THE BLUE MOON (BUT THIS ONE IS MADE OF WASTE PAPER)

“PROJECTION GAME”#8 / THE VIDEO: WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THESE CRACKS?
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?
“PROJECTION GAME”#7 / REALITY IS NEVER WHAT IT SEEMS
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
“PROJECTION GAME”#6 / IS IT LIKE IF WE FLY AT 10,000 METERS IN HEIGHT ABOVE A CITY?
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?
“PROJECTION GAME”#5 / IS IT A FLOWER DESIGNED BY SNOW? NO, IT’S A…
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…
“PROJECTION GAME”#4 / A GREAT EXPLOSION OF LIGHT AND MATTER: THE PRIMAL CHAOS?
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?
“PROJECTION GAME”#3 / THAT BLACK HALF MOON IS WATCHING US …
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 …
