"Rotoforo": A Philosophy of Territorial Observation
My deep interest in the connection between humanity and the landscape finds expression in the "Rotoforo" project. This exploration is grounded in a self-built circular pinhole camera, a powerful instrument that not only captures images but transforms my perspective on the world.
Through the pinhole, photography becomes an act of intimate and subjective observation, a form of interpreting the landscape that surpasses the visible surface. The 360-degree perspective offered by the "Rotoforo" amplifies this alternative view, immersing me in a reality that is complete, fragmented, multiplied, and overlaid, symbolizing the complexity of life.
In the images of "Rotoforo," the territory is a continually transforming protagonist, revealed through the filter of the pinhole. This photographic device, with its inherent simplicity and complexities, becomes a metaphor for the philosophy guiding my project. Just as the pinhole transforms light into images, so does the "Rotoforo" transform the territory into a visual narrative that underscores the beauty of multiplicity and the depth of complexity.
"Rotoforo" is more than just a collection of photographs; it is a personal reflection on my connection to the territory and the ever-changing nature of my worldview. It celebrates the ability of photography to unveil hidden layers, explore the concept of an ever-evolving reality, and offer an intimate perspective on the complexity of life that surrounds me.
