Napoli Explosion<\/h6>

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. Napoli Explosion<\/span><\/p>

The Gulf of Naples glows red. Above the luminous line of the city, the fireworks lose all trajectory and become vertical filaments of light rising towards the sky, while the silhouette of Vesuvius emerges, silent, at the centre of the scene. A landscape at once recognisable and transfigured, suspended between photography and painting. In its museum edition, a unique 240\u00d7160 cm print, the work has been acquired for the permanent collection of the Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte. It is now available as an Open Edition: a Fine Art print on Hahnem\u00fchle paper, signed on the back by the artist. Each work comes with a complimentary Napoli Explosion art bag.<\/p>\n
