E' questione di Spazio - Conversazione con Simone Furlani
It's a Matter of Space - Conversation with Simone Furlani and Maurizio Ciancia
The meeting will focus on the theme of photography as an exercise in immanence, highlighting the roles of sign and surface within a shot.
The concept on which attention will be focused is that of ‘space’, understood by Ciancia as a polysense noun that designates an extension between two or more points of reference, which can be variously interpreted depending on whether one considers it from a philosophical, interior, psychological, geometric, physical, astronomical, geographical, architectural, artistic, astronautical and industrial point of view.
Maurizio Ciancia's is a continuous research that sees ‘emptiness’ as a subject, trying to represent it through the principle of subtraction: objects, figures, forms, characters, his photos are emptied of all that is ornament and superstructure. This work began almost casually during an architectural project: observing the shapes, interacting with colours and geometries, led the author to refine a personal approach to composition to the point of creating the first images of this research.
