Attraction

Movement of body in dance here becomes the ritual with which we try to overcome the gravitational pull: dance is a representation of the myth of flight, of lightness. And this continuous physical struggle of the mass against the attractive force of the ground, of the artist against the tireless search for answers, is the very soul of movement. This book, in its collector's version, is itself a paper representation of movement: it is a diap

Effimero

Effìmero (or efìmero) adj. [from late Latin ephemĕrus, gr. ἐφήμερος, comp. of ἐπί "above" and ἡμέρα "day"]. - 1. a. Which lasts only one day [...] Ephemeral is a poetic homage, in images, to the mountains. "Antonio Di Cecco's landscapes stand on very thin, evanescent entities. They force us to poke around what appears indistinct, mobile, without matter. A constant work of subtraction of weight, now to the already rarefied air, now to human figures, now to the gaze.

Yes to All

On nous a dit qu’il n’y avait rien et nous sommes allés le chercher

“ This project has developed in two movements: that of the very action of walking, of covering the nooks and crannies of a given territory, and that of the continuous interrogation that, rather than search for answers, strove to think up new questions that would enable us to strike up a dialogue about possible realities. These walks were also stimulated by a double approach, that of photography and that of anthropology, that simultaneously suggested two dif

I Capelli del Giuggiolo

The time of a childhood, a mother's care, a sister's hair to comb, warmth, life immersed in a lush nature that nourishes and repairs. But everything is quickly annihilated. The outbreak of war is sudden, loved ones are lost, fear advances, fire destroys, and a girl finds herself thrown into a colder, livelier, often incomprehensible country. She is alone. Memories and hopes blur with reality, her story is analyzed, vivisected in search of data and obj
