A profound reflection on existence and reality. A way of ‘leaving’ from the newspaper “breaking and shattering one’s reality, now increasingly pre -packaged and lived in patterns”. The artist Fabio Martino presents in Trevignano Romano, in the province of Rome, in the art gallery Antonella Rizzo, from 29 March (5pm) to 6 April (7 pm) the personal photographic exhibition ‘White dark’. Exhibition made for ‘visual signature’, master of authorial photography directed by Augusto Pieroni, Photographic-Rome 2023/24 workshops.
“This project – Martino writes – is the result of a real visual experience, a research gained by the awareness of having a ‘non -idea’ that has become a signature, visual soul. As a sheet of photographic paper immersed in the development bath, it has proved to be a little by little to be a profound reflection on existence and reality. The darkness then for me is white, not black, and the photographic story becomes a sequence of bangs of eyelashes, According to which the light has the perfect time to enter is ‘piercing’ the black of the film or sensor “.
“Here is – continues Fabio Martino – is my ‘white darkness’, feeling imprisoned in everyday life and getting out of it by breaking and shattering his reality, now increasingly pre -packaged and lived in schemes. As a child when I was bored I squeezed his eyes towards the blinding light and played hide and seek with people and things hidden by white, the white darkness. Those moments I am sure to live in a purest and more authentic reality and confessed with difficulty that reality around me is now not much. It’s hidden or forgotten “.
