UNIVERSO

" I sink my hands into the earth looking for my roots, in that land where I was born and I combine it with water, seeing its migration born in a sensual flow. The will to capture an instant ignites. Thus I reach the decisive moment, letting myself be guided by the intensity in which the will and the song fill the atmosphere of this dark room. Here and now, the light transcribes the introspection on the matter of the paper, opening me to the deeper understanding of this Whole, which is inside and outside of me. The Universe. Transcend the illusion and take a circular journey that touches the impalpable and roots it in a form. A map. " The images are the result of off-camera experiments made using the soil from the garden of my childhood. I work directly on photographic paper, in the dark room, with water, earth and light, obtaining unique and unrepeatable images. The movement of the ground on the paper reflects unstable and evanescent forms. Forms spread on the surfaces, they run through the center to go to founder in the edge of vast spaces empty. Following perhaps such as migration, a pulse of stream of consciousness, an improvisation. Every prints are testimony of adventures of the minds, wandering the deep unconscious, that is like the darkness of universe. The goal is to bring to light an intimate mapping that refers to a constellation, highlighted by sewing together various sheets of photographic paper with colored threads, to obtain large images. The chromatic component of the threads refers to a system used in astronomy to categorize stars based on their temperature: O = BLUE B = BLUE A = WHITE F = WHITE-YELLOW G = YELLOW K = ORANGE M = RED A phrase was coined to make remembering this scale easy: "Oh Be A Fine Guy, Kiss Me" Giorgia valli - Universo project 2014-2019
