Melting pat
OPPA Fase 1:: city and colours - Europa
A contribute to the color classification of states of mind
What color are the tears? What color are the chills? What color is your
smile? It 'really fear black and red is just the passion? Is there a way
to link the states of mind in a chromatic scale universally shared? In
this swamp of no points of reference, if not some cliché, however, I
decided to start from ground easy to identify the colors of the places.
Easy? In part, yes, there is a common horizon to look at. But the point
is: what skyline view in common? On what frame to stop looking?
Where you turn on the mood that makes the place "that place" and
that color "its color" reference?
In Melting Pat - Europe abstract architecture make the city almost
unrecognizable to the same European citizens. For 2014, the year of
European citizenship, the question is: which city is it? And not
recognize it means losing the identity of Europe.
Born in Rome and photographer since 1986, working between Rome and Buenos Aires. "I shoot like an artist and I think like a photographer" for this reason I define this photographic genre as "artistic reportage". The projects are born, mostly, discovering what I want to tell and how through my shots: a search between meanings and emotions of reality not immediately recognizable.
