PER, 2014 | Electropolis Collection | limited edition of 5 aluminum prints 120x80x2 cm | photo by Alessandro Corsini 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 I shot this photo in 2014 in Poznan (Poland), in one of its most important shopping streets (Polwieskja). The subject, morphed into the pink artefacts with a textile feel on the left of the picture, were simple passerbys on the backdrop of huge shopping windows. 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.
