Fuori e all'intorno
2010-2012
— The work is conceived as a photographic installation with stereographs.
Set in Milan’s Bovisa district, the work combines fog-obscured night views with a stereoscopic viewing system.
By attempting to reconstruct depth within an environment that resists visibility, the observer becomes an active participant in the image.
Through these urban environments, humanity has passed through and gone by, due to uncertain nomadism, leaving few traces “Out and Around,” marks that are now merely material for archaeology.
The feeling conveyed by these images is similar to that preserved for post-war landscapes, for places of ancient memory: an idea of incompletion, clearly suggested by the absence of limits, of an end that could be visible to the naked eye.
Light is undoubtedly the dominant element in these dreamlike works, in which nature delivers a singular but realistically portrayed evanescence. Here, the passage of some indistinct humanity is evident, one that has gone by and whose return is expected – and in this case, possible.
