Description

Napex 224064 Napoli Explosion
La grande rivoluzione culturale del nostro tempo è collegata all’evoluzione della tecnologia. La digitalizzazione sta trasformando la nostra memoria, il nostro modo di pensare e il nostro modo di organizzare il linguaggio. Napoli Explosion nasce nell’era dell’immagine digitale ed è il nuovo millennio che celebra con dei fuochi d’artificio che potrebbero essere inventati e che invece vengono fotografati! E la cosa che più mi colpisce è che è l’arte più antica di cattura tecnica della realtà, la fotografia appunto, a dimostrarsi la più immaginifica. Napoli Explosion

Sylvain Bellenger

Napoli Explosion
The window of my bedroom overlooked Mount Vesuvius, and every morning, with reverence, I whispered a good morning to it as one would address a slumbering person, afraid of awakening them. The volcano is a living presence for anyone living at its slopes. For over 12 years, on New Year's Eve, my team and I ascend Mount Faito, a mountain overlooking the Bay of Naples, to capture the extraordinary choreography of lights and colors produced by fireworks all around Vesuvius. Through this superstitious and propitiatory ritual, the people of Naples welcome the new year. The image of the black and silent silhouette of the volcano submerged by the cacophony of fireworks' colors seemed to me a representation that needed to be explored seriously and viewed from different perspectives. Over the years, the project has evolved into an experimentation of new forms of writing with light, using a unique color palette provided by the hundreds of thousands of fireworks exploding simultaneously. Over time, Napoli Explosion has become a work in search of the feeling of light.
