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.<\/p>

Within the Napoli Explosion team, this photograph is known as Gold. The sky is veiled in threads of gold, and the light of the fireworks takes on an almost spiritual dimension. As Sylvain Bellenger observes, in Naples these explosions are part of a ritual suspended between the sacred and the profane, in which the New Year\u2019s Eve celebrations become a way of warding off the passage of time and the ancestral fear of Mount Vesuvius. It is one of the most evocative images in Abstract \/ Real: a shower of gold in which spectacle becomes revelation. Now available as an Open Edition, it is a Fine Art print on Hahnem\u00fchle paper, signed on the reverse by the artist. Each print comes with a complimentary Napoli Explosion Artbag.<\/p>\n
