PROCEDIMENTALI ‘EXHIBITION’
Images of Luca Capuano at Galleria Browning, AsoloOpening: March 16 at 18:00
Open Saturday and Sunday (11:00 - 12:30 and 15:30 - 19:30) or by appointmentGalleria Browning is pleased to present the new photography and art exhibition curated by art director Steve Bisson. The exhibition aims to discuss the overproduction - even suffocation - of images in society. What does it mean to be a photographer? The exhibition attempts to answer, without claiming to be exhaustive, by showing three projects, three actions, all Italians: Luca Capuano, Giuseppe De Mattia and Lorenzo Ferraro. The exhibited projects are an opportunity for dialogue, and for a discussion on new directions and procedural alternatives in photography that can change in response to the need to provide new life and possibilities of interpretation.
The series Spettacoli by Luca Capuano constitutes a single installation, as an ongoing process, not finished. The author in the wake of Guy Debord searches for traces of “spectacle” in the contemporary world, searching for fragments of real or reproduced images met in his journeys. Scattered and chaotic traces, man-made signs, pieces of land, the interstitial spaces which provide meaning by working on sense combinations, on construction, on opposites and analogies, on the design of novel shapes where every detail, or any insistence of the gaze, participates in defining semantic foundations.
Luca Capuano builds visual mosaics, woven and communicating with each other, in which it is not so much the individual work but the emotional flow of the sequence which invites us to participate. All this without ever moving away from the charm of the documentary.What is evident is a continuous movement between modernity and tradition, between technological and poetic, between true and false.
