Frescoes and exotic plants alternate with skyscrapers and streets.The city is the setting.An unpublished review of Vincenzo Castella's work on Milan, a tribute that the photographer pays to the city that adopted him and became his home.A world, the one portrayed in his shots, which according to Frank Boehm, curator of the exhibition, is a correlation of private and collective spaces of our society.A reality built by man, which however is not the center of attention.Everything revolves around the urban landscape in all its facets, from the best known to hidden and unknown details.Starting from the most iconic face of the city, made of large concrete buildings, Castella comes to reveal unexpected sides of the metropolis.Renaissance, Nature and Urban Context.There are three areas through which his research is articulated.The series that follows the construction of the San Siro stadium alternates images of Leonardo's Last Supper and close-ups of tropical plants that one would hardly expect to find in Milan.Images of all sizes come together, creating compositions that seem to be punctuated by the trend of city life.The large images of the frescoes of the Basilica of San Maurizio allow you to capture details that are probably difficult to notice in person, as well as the panoramic views of the Milanese skyline, in which every detail is wrapped in a sort of suspended atmosphere.Environments so different but all belonging to a single microcosm, that of the city.Daily glimpses with which every citizen interfaces, but which the shots render with a sense of melancholy distance, with new points of view that create a new perception of reality.Edited by Frank BoehmBUILDING, Via Monte di Pietà 23, MilanI give my consent for a cookie to save my data (name, email, website) for the next comment.Get an alert when there are new comments.Or subscribe without commenting.Receive updates on this site by emailBROWSE THE CATALOG The appointment with the Oriental Art department in the rooms of Il Ponte ...Careof presents Les grasses matinées, a project curated by Marta Cereda on the function of idleness, ...Contemporary art protagonist in the two Aspesi stores, in via San Pietro all'Orto in Milan and in via ...From 9 October 2019, the Giampaolo Abbondio Gallery hosts the solo show of Olu Oguibe, which stages…SEF.01 has created for the Mudec - Museum of Cultures in Milan a mural dedicated to the important ...On 10 December 2019 the Spazio Aperto San Fedele, with the collaboration of Galleria Inconsueta, inaugurates ...ArtsLife © - all rights reserved - press register of the Court of Milan n ° 457 of 17-07-2008.Publisher: WE WEB COMPANY Srl |VAT number 03839010968 |REA: MI1705051 |ROC Register of Communication Operators n ° 17753.
