M O O N - the cave Photograph - Limited Edition of 6

“You ask me to explain myself, but I am far from words, logic, discursive thought, intellect … I am a secret and inexpressible state; I am the beginning where all deep knowledge begins, when you immerse yourself in my silent waters without asking a thing, without trying to define anything, when you stand outside all light. The more you enter me the greater your attraction to me. There is nothing clear in me. I am bottomless and all nuance, I extend into the realm of shadow. I am a swamp of immeasurable wealth; I contain all totems, prehistoric gods, the treasures of times past and times yet to come. Beyond the subconscious, I am creation itself. I steal away from all definition”. In this way, Alejandro Jodorowsky introduces the Moon card in his book “The way of tarot”. Among the other things, this card talks about mystery, dreams and the unconscious. Full Moon breaks the darkness with its light and makes the things of the world visible. The light of the Moon is an ambiguous light that hides much of what is visible during the day and gives us the illusion to see at night what we could see in sunlight. It is, therefore, a deceptive light, which hides but also brings out what was invisible during the day. This series has been realised on the island of Stromboli, where there is no public lighting and it is possible, therefore, to live the illuminated landscape only by the Moonlight. Here Nature is predominant, its strength is crushing. It's a place where you feel like a temporary guest. The dialogue between the Moon and the landscape is expressed with the maximum force, whereas the human figures appearing in this dialogue-blend into nature through the Moonlight. The bodies are naked but at the same time veiled by the Moonlight. I wanted each of them to feel free to express, by the nights of full moon, their own intimacy with Nature that would unveil its own double. - All the photographs have been taken without artificial lights, using only the light of the Moon-
