The power of nature
The photographer Luca Andreoni, who was leading the workshop, gave us as a first task the realization of a photographic series in the outstanding landscape of the Parco Adamello Brenta, Italy. We should let us inspired from landscape photographers’ work like Robert Adams. Due to the fact that we were working for a contemporary art museum I decided to give a deep significane to the task that I did and not just working on the beauty of the images that I was composed. The the first I realized is a shot that best represented the power of nature and its extreme beauty compared to the human being, so fragile and unstable.
The unnatural power of the nature
The second, however, is a shot reconstructed in photoshop with 4 other different photos. Two photos are art works expose at Mart museum, while the other two were taken during the workshop days in Adamello Brenta Park. The aim is both to celebrate this partnership, but also to question a whole series of photographic practices that today bombard us on social networks with digitally reconstructed shots.
Lee Friedlander Inspiration
The second task that we received was to realized a shot in the Mart Museum basing our work on the photographer Lee Friedlander. The two most important carachteristic of him were that he was playing with reflections in the most of his shots and moreover he was always try to be in the shots. Thus I tried to play witht some of the art works exposed in the museum to create a sort of overlapping shot with many different object, but also myself.
