LO SPECCHIO DEI PENSIERI - Lat 50.0499

"My point of view" is a series of photographs which capture a precise detail, a fragment of reality that our eyes usually tend not to look at closely, because of their natural ability to grasp a collection of things. Here instead, the eye of the lens captures and returns to the human eye those parts often rapt in fascination. These details, extrapolated from the collection to which they belong, take on a life and characteristic all of their own. It's in the eye of the beholder, the free and dreamy interpretation of these figures. The name of each of them, or the meter by which each photograph was taken, is meant to symbolize the elusiveness of representation: you could discover in these photographs the circumference of the earth, but not the precise point where the object was immortalized. It's exactly the lack of context which accompanies the images that amplifies their efficacy, offering the viewer an emotion quite similar to that caused by a sleight of hand: one captures the extraordinary effect, but not the trick. Leaving intact that part of mystery whose task it is to fascinate us as human beings.
The representation proposed by George Donders is therefore something that does not want to belong to the concrete, but rather unleash the free flight of imagination.
