MONOCROME VAIA: conscious journey into a disaster

«Né creator né creatura mai», cominciò el, «figliuol, fu sanza amore, o naturale o d'animo; e tu 'l sai. Lo naturale è sempre sanza errore, ma l'altro puote errar per malo obietto o per troppo o per poco di vigore. Dante Purgatorio XVII canto This work lasted over a year wants to tell VAIA about the cyclone that hit the Dolomites. Between 26 and 30 October 2018, the territory of the North-East of Italy suffered one of the greatest massacres of trees. Furious rains and a very strong wind, of syrup, which blew between 100 and 200 km/h hit thousands of alpine forests. An estimated 14 million trees have been felled. Scientists attribute these phenomena to the consequences of man-made climate change, or rather by the policies of exploitation of the predominant economic and financial system. The images I published in this project are part of an exhibition that aims to bring the observer to a ratio of 1 to 1, In fact, some of these images were made with the Stitching technique and have a size of over 4 meters of long side. So that the observer, also thanks to the richness of the details that the image contains, was in direct contact with the disaster. We are planning exhibitions in Rome, Milan, Venice and Bologna. From this work in 2020 will be published a book enriched by the texts of journalist Angelo Miotto and translated into four languages.
