Horizons: my train journey along the Adriatic coast of Italy

Photography is the temporal selection of events, may they be spontaneous or manufactured; reality or fiction. For me, a privileged lover of photography, it is none other than a diary of emotional moments lived: images of that which, from time to time, presents itself to my "eye, mind, and heart" - thanks to Cartier-Bresson - and touches them. Orizzonti represents, thus, a series of scenes from life, frozen in spontaneity, within a landscape; successive articulations of the passing of time along the journey and, simultaneously, of the spaces traveled. Reality or fiction? Documentation? Simply mere personal, emotional moments of the reality placed in front of me, and that I deliver to the observer for a reflective read. From the preface of the book: "He shot his photos following an internal rhythm; a rhythm which gave life to a long series of photos. The landscapes scrolling past the window were the reconstruction of a long horizon; the scenes photographed were living materials, the photos contain smudges due to the speed and jumps of the train. The author held himself to simple, but effective, rules: always hold the camera ready in front of the window at the level of your eyes; don’t look through the viewfinder, but instead look slightly to the right to see a preview of the image; as soon as your eye catches something, shoot. Working in this way, the author put into play an automatism of a glance, engaging the eye, the mind, the hand, and, last but not least, the camera. That which Bianchi Carini chose to do was to put these two dimensions, the human eye and the mechanical eye, in a dialogue with one another, and to his own sensitivity and taste for the aesthetic composition of an image the glue to hold them together.
