Details_
It isn’t trivial and even less immediate compare oneself to places well-etched in a collective immagination. Even more if these places were already aim of the study, vison and translation by others. We always are worried about doing something repetitive,monotonous and banal. Today in photography and in art we want amaze and surprise, trying to propose something new. However there is no physical reality, subject or technique that can overcome the lack of a new vision. It’s the look that counts, that is the way and the time of observation, reflection and reworked version of what we see and what we want to affirm or deny. Originally Luca Cacioli watched at ex factory for his history. Yet the choice of location was made in order to formal reasons, because in the place the photographer has seen the signs of his visual alphabet.
Objects suspended and isolated, geometric structure of iron and cloth, surfaces eroded and worn-out: Details that suggest quiet and rarefied atmosphere, but especially a tendency to abstraction in forms, lines and points. The use of white and black recalls a kind of careful analysis of selected subjects, which is further developed when it is transposed to the particulars. By the search of the structural framework not of macroarchitecture, but of the microjoint of the elements – the fulcrums of the composition are fixed, orienting the reading. Nevertheless, the tension in the removal and mental vision of the objective doesn’t involve the loss of contact with the object. In fact, the subject is always recognizable : a neon remains that, like the roller curtains or iron tubes. All these “words”, going beyond their status, are bundles of vectors, lines and diagonals. This translation of signs is the point of the project, and it find in standard particulras the sense of personal study and in the becoming.
Moving from purely formalist approach, and therefore observing the project on the content and context , the story emerges. The seized details are the rest of a dismembered body: a cathedral became non-lieu. Lebole from symbol of rebirth, liberation, industrialization and revolution to mirror of our times: a battlefield, a crumbling theater on whose the stage support as masks precariousness, uncertainty carelessness and temporariness. The decay of values, mixed with the inability to look with honesty and clarity at the past, ends up to obscure the vision of a better future that can release this present fragmented, disconnected, difficult, suspended in limbo and perpetually raped. A time of which this space is a metaphor.
