INVITED TO THE DANCE


Joaquin - Albussac 2018


From silence comes the sound.
From the un-thought the word rises and so does the concept.
The image appears from the absence of light.
And in this eternal pulsation between action and non-action,
we are invited to the dance.

URBAN DRAWINGS

Urban drawing (1) - 's-Hertogenbosch 2020 The bombardment of senses in the city suggests infinite scripts of light.

SOPHISTICATED PLEASURES

Strip of land - Comacchio (2019) Each phase of the photographic process holds a different and always renewed pleasure. When I am out doing street photography, landscaping, or whatever, I totally dedicate myself to recording the multiple aspects of Manifestation, diving into the mission with my mind and heart, without any prejudice.

In the subsequent processing phase, I do everything very instinctively. Also in this case I try not to be influenced by states of tension or who knows what expectations. The chromatic choice is something that happens almost automatically and only very rarely do I go back to my initial decisions. Finally, there is the selection and presentation phase, which can happen through a simple post like this one here. The pleasure lies in returning for the third time to read an image, to rediscover the sensation that prompted
