DUE COLORI, 2014 | Electropolis Collection | limited edition of 5 aluminum prints 120x80x2 cm | photo by Alessandro Corsini Printed by @whitewall_lab, for sale on @saatchiart www.alessandrocorsini.com/duecolori THE ELECTROPOLIS COLLECTION The Electropolis Collection is an homage to 20th century abstract painters. It consists of a series of abstract, digital photographs shot in 2014 with a technique combining daytime long-exposure (shutter speeds of several seconds using ND filters) and intentional camera movement (either through experimental hand gestures, body moves or the motion of a means of transportation). My research was specifically focused on the pictorial quality of the motion blur and its aesthetics. Inspired by how motion blur can resemble the brush strokes of a painter, I experimented with it to create new impressions. ABOUT THIS PHOTO This is the oldest photo in the Electropolis Collection. It's the photo that started it all..by chance. I took this photo from the window of a train riding through the polish countryside in 2014. The motion blur in this photo is the result of the linear motion of the train combined with the movement caused by my elbow losing its grip and slipping while shooting the photo. I was stunned by how much the motion blur resembled the brush strokes of a painter. TECHNICAL DETAILS This photo - just like all my other works on Saatchiart - is printed on brushed aluminum by Whitewall - the German, award-winning photo lab renowned for its superior, gallery-quality, printing process. The horizontally brushed, metallic surface adds a characteristic flair to my images making them look timeless: old-fashioned and modern at the same time. Depending on the light and the viewing angle, the aluminum surface shimmers differently, therefore constantly altering the prints’ appearance in unpredictable ways. This is the reason why I print all of my artistic works on brushed aluminum. Prints on aluminum are thin (0.3cm), sturdy and incredibly light. Being pre-treated with UV light protects them from light damage, dust particles and moisture. As a matter of fact, not only are aluminum prints rust-proof, they are also - differently from most other print materials - suitable for bathrooms and sheltered outdoor areas. My prints -unless otherwise stated- are always fitted, as from the photos, with Whitewall's aluminum rail rectangle (depth 1.5cm) and are therefore ready to hang, vertically or horizontally. The 1.5cm distance from the wall makes up for an eye-catching 'float' effect that beautifully emphasises the print. Every single limited-edition print is numbered and hand-signed by myself. Prints of different sizes are possible, please contact me.

Germany
Alessandro Corsini is a visual artist working with video and photography, based in Berlin, Germany. Born in Milan (Italy) in the seventies, having grown up on the pristine beaches of Sardinia, he had his first encounter with B&W film photography during a course at his intermediate school in Maryland, USA. The interest for media has since guided his multifaceted formation, leading him not only to study and work with different media, but actually exploring them through artistic, scientific, and applied arts lenses. His eclectic body of work is a reflection of his free spirit, cosmopolitan upbringing, and interdisciplinary background. His photographic research focuses on fine-art, conceptual works that deconstruct/decontextualize traditional photographic genres and techniques, in the pursuit of a new, purely artistic, definition of photographic iconicity.
