Photography, Black & White on Canvas
Size: 30 W x 20 H x 1.8 D in
Film photography part of the series "Qui, ora". Photography involves a choice. It is a reflection on a portion of reality. Whenever you look at a still image, the only certainty is that it reflects something which has taken place: that person, that object - or both- were there when someone took a picture of them. I use the past tense because, as Barthes says in Camera Lucida, photography is "a figuration of the motionless and made-up face beneath which we see the dead." Qui, ora ("here, now") is an attempt to capture life, and how constant motion can be translated into still images.

Gabriele Gelsi's work investigates the usual and the ordinary: his subjects are conventional places, objects, and people we can find and meet everywhere. His photography shows a different perspective on a usual situation: the relationship between shapes of objects, bodies and spaces brings out the unexpected harmony present in everyday life, thus awakening amazement in the ordinary. His images avoid any ornament, responding to the desire to show the essence of the subject without artifice, without distractions. Reality should not be hidden or transmuted but must be embellished: light and composition place a veil of wonder on the ordinary, renewing the gaze on what is usual. After achieving a BA in History of Theatre at University of Trieste (my born city) I moved to Rome where I got a MA degree in Historical Research Methodology while starting to work constantly with theatres and theatrical companies as stage photographer. I moved to Reading, UK, where I initially worked as portrait photographer. I am currently curator at The Caversham Picture Framer, an independent art gallery.
