THE SPACE IN BETWEEN

Tell us more about "The Space in Between" series... This is a very personal work. It has much to do with my opinion on the importance of awareness of transience. Last year, The Space in Between series was exhibited at the European Cultural Center in the context of the Venice Art Biennale 2017. At the time, I wrote a piece for the exhibition catalog, here is an extract: “Existence is indivisible, as to exist means to find oneself in a continuum of space and time. At the end of this continuity comes death: the extinguishing of existence in space and time. Yet, for humanity, to exist also means to give this continuum meaning, and to be aware of it, in order to recognize oneself as a spatially physical and temporally finite being. In The Space in Between, I have tried to visualize these anthropological constants...Photography as an act—and thus the photograph as an object—wrests substance from transience in order to die by its hand through the dissolution of continuity. Photography is thus a modern death ritual—one that brings forth death by capturing life, creating a depiction of our yearning for immortality.” Zoom magazine n. 254.
