The opportunity arose from an invitation by a gallery director to explore the dichotomy of black and white. The starting point was a series of photographs taken in a very bright, almost white environment.
This led me to experiment with something entirely new to me: colour inversion.
The result of the inversion was a very dark image, almost like a negative. Light becomes shadow.
What emerged is a concept of Space that aligns with my ongoing research. It respects the visual language I have developed over the years, yet introduces an additional dimension: it remains connected to reality while simultaneously taking a certain distance from materiality.

L’occasione è stata l’invito di un gallerista a sperimentare la dicotomia del bianco e del nero. Il punto di partenza sono state le fotografie realizzate in un contesto molto chiaro e luminoso, quasi bianco.
Ho iniziato così a sperimentare un elemento per me nuovo, l’inversione cromatica.
Il risultato dell’inversione è stata un’immagine molto scura, quasi un negativo.La luce diventa ombra.
Il risultato è un concetto di Spazio affine alla mia ricerca, rispetta il linguaggio che ho formalizzato negli anni ma con un aspetto ulteriore: resta a contatto con la realtà ma prende in qualche modo distanza dalla materia.
