Project Info

From the train window.

The photos are taken from a regional train running on the Como-Milan route. The exposure time is long, the lights are contrasted, the space is distorted in moving trajectories,

On honor of Luigi Ghirri, Italian artist and photographer master of contemporary photography (January 5, 1943 - February 14, 1992) and his gaze between fiction and reality. A 'nostalgia for the landscape' with which to investigate and tell about places that seem to have lost recognition, "as if they had been touched by an evil science fiction magic that has upset them. The feeling of origin of things is the point from which I start to look at the landscape, knowing that there are no definitive answers, but continuing to question myself, because the answer is contained in the gesture of continually asking myself the question ". Through the glass you can see what appears only in the frame, which flows and disappears, like a window from which to look at the phenomena, leaving us with questions. "You look from the window, but who is it that looks? It is the world that looks at the world".
