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…
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 …
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

Pantone has chosen the yellow color – also in combination with gray – as the color of the year 2021. During my chromatic research of the “Lacer / actions” project I encountered several situations in which yellow was predominant in the color palette. Both as regards the decomposed advertising posters and for the cracks, corrosion… Read More THE YELLOW YEAR / THEY AREN’T MAPS, BUT MACRO PHOTOS OF CORROSIONS ON SPEED BUMPS
