CLAUDIO POLLINI

 

INSIDE THE WAVE  

 
  

What we decide to see by arranging images in our brain is more helpful/playful than what our eyes actually see.

It is hard to explain/understand the way we perceive visual concepts, when this perception makes us see things that are not there, a hard test for our visual powers: different viewpoints leading to contrasting outcomes.

Something seen/not seen, forever teaching us, an anamorphosis of endlessly changing images.

Landscapes of an “acid” world, fleeting Morgana Le Fays of a liquid desert; tempestuous skies, romantic heavens where whimsical cirruses create upside-down perspectives (Piranesi’s way): implosions of universes animated by vegetal shapes.

Steve Reich accompanies with his minimal sound anyone about to enter the world of Claudio Pollini’s photos.

Let’s dive into the spiral of emotions in a protean “continuum”, and go beyond the obvious, beyond the confines of our narrow vegetable garden/spot/landscape; let’s open up to these imaginary/very real structures which surface in transparencies; as transparent, in fact, as undertow waves.
