Opening "Dissolvenze in bianco" - Marcella Persichetti

La fotografa Marcella Persichetti presenta il progetto "Dissolvenze in bianco"

The theme of the exhibition is photographing our recollections, what remains imprinted in our minds after a long time about places, people and particular moments of our lives. In our recollections, our vision loses the overall picture, that is the exact details. Only a few specific details remain, while all the rest fades, it becomes white ... vague ... acquiring a hazy glow.

Time warps and changes reality, while our memory emphasizes certain details and hides others. As time goes by, reality loses its objectivity. It actually no longer exists and an image becomes the result of a subjective experience: an imagined space.

Time and memory work in sync to create the impression that the viewer will retain of what he has experienced.

Created with the aim of portraying reality objectively and constituting a faithful record, the exhibition “Dissolvenze in Bianco” ["Fading to White"] showcases photos that strive to highlight what has become a recollection, or perhaps does not even exist, or remains imprinted not on the photographic medium but in the minds of those who have seen something and have then photographed it at a particular point in time.

Through digital processing, the prevailing white colour prominently reveals this transition: from reality to vision.

In the imagined space, some elements are firmly rooted, in an eternal pose, while others are moving "perpetually".

“Dissolvenze in Bianco” ["Fading to White"] is the latest in a series of artistic showings by Marcella Persichetti that form part her research and investigation on the theme and the effects of time.
