Napex 91123 TritticoNapoli Explosion

Questo trittico è incredibile, sembra essere una variazione sullo stesso tema, quello della danza. Molti artisti hanno cercato questa danza nella pittura o nella scultura stessa. E qui la fotografia ci dona questa danza meravigliosa. Una “Danza del Fuoco”, come quella di Manuel de Falla, qualcosa di stupefacente per i tanti riferimenti culturali presenti. Si tratta ovviamente di libere associazioni che lo spettatore può proiettare proprio come davanti al fuoco, dinanzi ad una fiamma che si proietta alta nell’aria. Napoli Explosion

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.
