Il giorno in cui si spense il sole

On the day the sun went out, the sun waned on the horizon and then faded into people's memories; no one really understood what replaced it, a moon, a star, or perhaps the sun itself, but this time-anemic-submerged the Earth in a blue never-ending night.

Il giorno in cui si spense il sole is a visual exploration between invisible realities and photographic truths in which dystopian and apocalyptic portents of contemporaneity take shape.

In the space of the image, a metamorphosis of reality occurs, shaped by the possibilities of photography, to create a credible parallel reality. Fiction contaminates reality, exposing a deep unease about the impending ecological catastrophe that has spilled from the realms of literature and cinema into everyday life. An unnatural light urges the viewer to engage with a new reality poised between familiarity and alienation.

The choice to evoke a future - atmospheric - imagining a future meteorological condition is not random. It alludes to the inability to control natural elements that, even in reality, are slipping completely beyond human supervision.

The future is the land of the unknown and the possible, of hope and change. Test grounds for the future, the images find their place in a fertile ground of ambiguity, evoking fragments of imaginary heritage teetering between past and future.

The viewer is invited into a practice akin to that of a survivor, shipwrecked in a world they know but do not belong to, discovering or rediscovering through the practice of sight, to seize the capacity to be the future and consciously rewrite the present.
