ALAN GELATI: I SHADOW

A testimony on automatic writing. Shadows and lights captured in an instant through a technology to iconize people, corps and fashion.

A testimony on automatic writing. Shadows and lights captured in an instant through a technology.
But unlikely light and shadow, a photo is not random, it happens because you want it to happen; it is the fleeting moment that the photographer wants to make eternal.
A face, a dress, a landscape ... we are all physically and visually only reflections of light;
It is the testimony of the instant, the Form determines the beauty in an image that the photographer, in fact, reproposes and emphasizes in a frame.
In this exhibition captured and expressed in selection of moments, faces, bodies; all Visions landed to fashion and portraits. My photography, my passage on this planet and fragment of infinity.
