Un viaggio culturale attraverso le mostre fotografiche: dalla wilderness di A. Adams al parco dei divertimenti di M. Pesaresi

Abstract

In this essay photography is regarded as a tool for the careful observation of the landscape, which keeps the observer’s perception through places of everyday life as well as remote places, sometimes non directly experienced. In both instances images represent landscape knowledge and documentation caught in the instant of photography shot. According to his observational point, the author offers his own “sight”. Photographic exhibitions are here described as an opportunity for carefully understanding the landscape. They take the observer to a cultural journey in which his look is led by the author with thoroughness and method, transmitting “indefinable feelings”. Their poetry remains fluctuating in the memory of the spectator, creating new geographical frontiers, new meeting spaces and differences.
