About The Artwork
Technique: Giclèe Fine Art Print, Plexiglas® Hard Coated + Plexiglas® XT White,Floating fragments, aluminum frame, 2017. RIVUS ALTUS – 10.000 visual fragments from the Rialto Bridge in Venice www.rivusaltus.it 11.354 photo-fragments 264 shooting hours on the bridge from 2013 to 2015 13.000 gondolas passed under the bridge 15.963 people portrayed Max Farina recorded with his camera every variation of light and everything that happened, staying still for 264 hours at the same place: the centre of the Rialto Bridge, the most crowded and photographed place in Venice, facing the Grand Canal. In two years, Massimiliano Farina has caught any change, focusing his attention on the single fragments that make up the landscape, as if looking through the eyes of flies and dragonflies. The result is not a single image, but a multiplicity of images. The visual perception depends on the variable and almost infinitely changeable editing, of every single piece that make up a perfect and unstable, fascinating and ever-changing landscape: both night and day, sunrise and sunset, yesterday and the day before yesterday ... Similar to puzzles, his images do not capture one single moment, but they become a perspective drawn by the time going by. They don’t interpret anything in a subjective or expressive way, but enhance the camera and its "mechanical" look, like a magical recording tool. Farina uses photography to create images that you can only get thanks to the camera and to its technological unconscious. He "shatters the stereotype of Venice" and offers a kind of machine à voir which invites us to see the Grand Canal as through a magnifying glass, to scrutinize the slightest details made by light and darkness, waters and skies, buildings and boats, crowds and silence...
