Macro photographic series that aims to explore the potential of these small springs of the climbing plants, in this case the passion fruit tree, in clinging to other plants, winding these structures and serving as support during their growth.
On this series the focus attention goes to this minimal part of the nature of the plants that could normally go unnoticed, inviting the observer to develop the personal interpretation of these various abstract helical formations. The highlight is the shape and texture of these spiral-shaped filiform structures which may at first appear to be man-made.
Between abstraction and figuration, Bruno Militelli captures nature in its finest details. With the macro photography as a stepping stone, the artist overcomes the limits of vision and enters the minutiae of each of the photographed objects. Precision and focus are guides to the process, the poetics of the work develops, with near laboratory techniques, from the uncovering of the particularities of nature that fail to be seen or even go easily unnoticed.
Bruno portrays nature as abstract manifestation, transcending the materiality of the elements which it is composed of.
