ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Tokyo is the first project of more than 43 images never exposed and in “pose”. The boundary between eroticism and sensuality which is often very blurred, here, is clear; the erotic appeal, though in some shots very palpable, is overwhelmed by the sensuality. When looking at these images, one has the feeling of being enveloped in an aura of lingering sensuality; it is impossible not to be drawn in by their gaze, expressions, gestures, by the situations that are portrayed, by the details that at first glance are inconspicuous, and that here emerge as fundamental; detail is everything and for the photographer, knowing how to grasp that in a fraction of a second, the time of a decisive click, means knowing how to capture the spontaneity of the subjects, an essential condition of sensuality. A “girl” here in this project tells her intimate story of her life, of her love in such as melancholical and sensitive way, the artist only catches in silence her fragility, fobies and expression of “words “of her body.

Biography ● Born in Perugia Claudio Montecucco graduated as a technician in mechanical engineering and received his three-year degree as a CAD disigner. He enrolled in the Faculty of Architecture in Florence, though after several exams, he abandoned his studies to work in the family jewelry store as a jewelry designer and pursue his piano studies and get diploma late. A lover of all art forms, he cites his favoirite authors with whom he identifies such as Robert Doisneau “What I was trying to show was a world in which I felt at home, where people were kind. Where I could find the tenderness that I hope to receive. My photography were the proof that this world could exist”. Being a reserved man and little inclined to being observed Montecucco had been taking photographs that permitted him to express something stongly personal, images guided by the intuition, by his search so called “elusive moment” that moment he would like to capture everyday walking down the street with his camera. ● “ I try to capture images of a routine life, what seems to be at a first glance to be banal and routine I try to lift it to a new form to a new interpretation. I take photos almost anything I see and worth it, everything is interesting to me, life itself even in its humble monotony. I was born introvert,introvertedness that open to a street. I search for happiness in catching a moment -“elusive moment”. My heart and my shot beats as one. “ M.Thompson Nati ● Claudio Montecucco tries in all his projects to unite three arts such as painting, architecture and photography in one “form” and tackle an arduous task of photography so called a capture “elusive moment” and elevate it into the art. When you define Montecucco as a classic photographer, you can not limit him to that simple description, which you are able to glean from observing his photographs, so carefully arranged as to seem from another time, but this is how he highlights his choice of field, which is equally esthetic but even more intimately psychological. It is no coincidence that from his favourite authors he cites those that many years ago walked down the Parisian streets, not so much to capture reality as to be seduced by it. That genre has been defined as “Photographie humaniste” because it looked at man with indulgence and trust. The same used by Claudio Montecucco when he goes down the streets looking for strange and unrepeatable moments where something almost imperceptible happens...
