WHITE FLOW

> about the project:

There is a final secret that I want you to embrace. It’s about my B&W trees and waterfalls, enclosed in a garden that counterclocks all of the above. Well, most of the above. It rests upon a tradition that transcends centuries of spiritual quests [shall we start with King Solomon, “Song of Songs” (4:12)?] and architectural hankerings [when Carlo Scarpa comes to my mind]. It caters to cravings for meticulous luxury: you are safe, you are in balance, you are in love – and the safety, the balance and the love are not as seasonal as either the foliage or your forbearance. It isn’t about what you recognize. It’s only about what you beautify. Hence, no open skies, so don’t hunt for those… It is, for others have built it before I did, Hortus Conclusus.

Unified by the unconventional theme, my images talk about the spatial continuity, about fluidity, about surprising details, curves or edges, about perfection, but mostly about the sought-after imperfection of architectural forms and shapes. They speak of the choice of the onlooker to engage him/herself in a sensual dialogue with such imperfections. Zooming-in to certain details, the architectural remnants generate an archive of different frames, unified by contrast under a specific volumetric light. Such an archive turns to be an unexpected labyrinth of fortuitous passions, and, as such, transforms a public open-space into an intimate cloister of sensuous nuances. The lines that I’m encasing within a photograph courageously suffer a gradual transition, by the virtue of harnessed light, from orthogonality to curvature, from the beginning to the end of the series … The aftermath is in the eye of the beholder.
