Napoli Explosion at the Albergo dei Poveri: a hymn to the city of Naples on the occasion of its 2,500th anniversary.
The exhibition presents 33 new large-scale works, in which the artist captures the luminous spectacle of lights and colors staged by the Neapolitan people around Mount Vesuvius on New Year’s Eve.
 
“In the year in which Neapolis celebrates its 2,500th anniversary, I imagined an exhibition capable of challenging our idea of time and the way we perceive it. I immersed the works in an incandescent red light pouring in through the large windows of the Albergo dei Poveri, as if Naples had been hurled onto a star at cosmic dawn. It is the same red as the magma chamber, where the volcano forges matter and its colors. It is the red of the darkroom, the place where the photographer attempts to fix an instant. This exhibition is born from a dialogue between different times: the time of Neapolitan civilization, the geological time of Vesuvius, and the infinitesimal time of the photographic shot.”
