Come sempre, la natura continua a lavorare alla sua opera. Tutto è al proprio posto.
L’uomo ne contempla il regno e si avvicina, cammina sulla linea di confine in cerca di
un contatto. La natura lo accoglie, avvolgendolo e respingendolo. Ogni cosa attende. Piano si allontana dall’ordine del tempo del giorno e della notte,
rimanendo sospesa. Straniero e fuori dal suo ambito, l’uomo si rivolge alla natura
ponendosi e ponendole domande e sforzandosi di tornare all’armonia e al dialogo.

Nature always keeps on working on its oeuvre. Everything is at the right place. The human observes the kingdom and comes closer, walks on the boundary line, trying to get in touch. Nature welcomes him, covering and refusing him. Everything is waiting. Slowly the human detaches her/himself from the order of time, days and nights. Like a foreigner out of his order, she/he turns to the nature, asking questions and trying to revert to harmony and the dialogue.

Due donne, o la stessa donna, due momenti, o il medesimo, schiacciate o liberate, pressate e infangate, assorbite assorte, mostrano con rabbie presunte incastonate debolezze. Sotto pellicole diverse si annidano umori opposti. “Memoria e identità, paesaggio e indagine sociale, globalizzazione e rituali arcaici, fanno da sfondo alle immagini…immagini forti, estreme nel contrasto, immagini di grandi dimensioni dove il ritocco digitale diventa sollecitazione, il cromatismo allarme, insomma immagini del nostro tempo”.

Two women, or the same, two moments, or the same, crushed or freed, compressed and sullied, absorbed concentrated, angrily show supposed ingrained weaknesses. Underneath different layers, contrasting moods are lurking. “Memory and identity, the landscape and social inquiry, globalization and archaic rituals, provide the setting for the images…strong, sharply contrasting, oversized images, whose digital retouch becomes urgency, the chromaticism an alert, shortly said, contemporary images”.
