Interni di Palazzo Tiranni-Castracane a CagliInteriors of Palazzo Tiranni-Castracane in Cagli

A series of a score of pictures taken in collaboration with the Town Council for Cultural Assets and Monuments of the City of Cagli. As in my other studies, space is programmatically excluded from the representation and the photographic prints reproduce portions of walls in a 1:1 relationship, almost as if they were “samples”. While however the visual translation of the historical Fratelli Alinari photographs – as in the fine vintage view shown together with my pictures – is distinguished by a classic perspective representation (guaranteeing an accurate documentation of the surroundings), my work consists of the isolation of a few two-dimensional details and attempts to capture – transfiguring them in the photograph – signs and traces that, deposited and stratified on two-dimensional surfaces, succeed in referring to the environment from which they have been drawn and, above all, to evoke atmosphere and emotions.
