About The Artwork
In 2005, the New York City Council approved the rezoning for the Greenpoint-Williamsburg Waterfront, that is the northern coast of Brooklyn overlooking the East Village, one of the most impressive industrial areas of the region in the late nineteenth century. The well known Domino Sugar Refinery Factory (the largest refinery in the world after the civil war, where even my Apulian grandfather had worked), is one of the most haunting symbols of the industrial and manufacturing past of New York, a past that has to be removed from the skin of the city. The rezoning will change the appearance and function of 11 acres of shoreline and some residents are skeptical about the plan of development, which will bring high traffic density and excessive overpopolation. After the lively and residential Brooklyn area, we found half-deserted streets, where Manhattan dominates the skyline from a sleepy fog, we found the footprints of the anonymous disappearing buildings, silent green oasis (Transmitter Park) and roofs and trucks painted by rust.

I usually retract the concrete matter of the "third landscape" and its inhabitants, in order to document the iron, the rust, the cement, the urban shape that breaks down. My intent is not to denounce the degradation of some industrial areas waiting for the rezoning: the photographic act seeks rather to "read" those suspended places and heterotopias. If history can't rehabilitate their original function, the danger is to contemplate them as mausoleums, like an aesthetic sublimation of the necropolis of fatigue. Instead one could consider the hidden life in the apparent stasis, developing a lexicon of images that will take into account the mutability of every place. Recently, I have furthermore attempted to question the documentary approach in landscaping. In front of the omnipresence of images, I try to disassemble what has already appeared, to not leave intact what is protected by the frame. Immaturity advances, sight is not enough.
