Photography printed on plexiglass with aluminium bottom. It shows the main facade of the Congress Building in the Eur district of Rome. The windows of the entrance of this building reflects, with deformations in surrealistic style, the building in front, called Building of the Italian Civilization and also called Square Colosseo. Project Vibrations is a photographic research on images tending to abstraction produced by reflections on the windows of skyscrapers. This organically started in 2009 and includes photographs taken in most important cities of the world. The glass windows that surround us create a parallel universe of magical forms, now anthropomorphic now abstract, and even deception, fantasies, play of light that appear and disappear after a step. It 'a seemingly virtual universe, but actually getting there. We run next that unaware; we move in this fantastic scenery distractedly. But if we stop just for a moment and we really see and not just we look at - as the photographer Franco Fontana told us – we can find out that these crystal architecture show us a different world. This project is conceptually placed - through the choice of subjects, the cut of the shots, and sometimes, but not always, the digital reworking of the colors – on the border between photography and painting, to free inner meanings through contamination between reality and emotion. Thanks to the reflections and color manipulation, reality becomes metaphysical, it goes beyond reality, to arrive sometimes to pure abstraction.

Carlo D'Orta (Italy, 1955). Art Photography. Art Studio in Rome, Piazza Crati 14, 00199. He has pursued his passion for photography for 40 years. He attended advanced painting classes at the Rome University of Fine Arts (RUFA) and a Master in Photography at the European Institut of Design (IED) in Milan, and devoted himself to the study of contemporary art. As a result, his photographic perspective undergoes a radical change. He abandons the documentary approach and try shots that tend towards abstraction, or tinged with a metaphysical/surrealist vision. The color sensitivity gained during the training gives to his photographs a strong painting characterization, sometimes because of limited interventions in post-production on lights and colors. He favors Architecture - focusing on de-contextualization of the details and the deformation produced by the reflection - and Dance. To the Architecture he dedicates first series "Berlin: White, Grey, Light" and "Vibrations" (in which it is clear the influence of futuristic vision), and later, from 2012, the series "Biocities" and "Geometries Still Life "(where instead there is a strong reminiscence of Cubism, Constructivism and moving color fields). In 2013 also starts the series "(Re)FineArt" aiming at a metaphysical vision of the architecture of large industrial complexes and whose title is a deliberate and provocative pun, combining the concept of art with that of one of the productions polluting what it is refining. To the Dance he approaches instead during his experience, from 2012, as component of the Board of National Academy of Dance. Born here the photographic series "Liquidance", where the focus is also often directed at particular decontextualized, shadows, vibration movement. In the last two years his research knows more strong evolutions arriving to the series titled "(De)Compositions". Here D'Orta, thanks to the shoot position and zoom, realise a strong compression of perspective and transformed landscapes of contemporary architecture in abstract geometries in which three-dimensional depth disappears. But then, using the geometric fragments that make up these photographs, she creates installations in plexiglass and glass sculptures in which recovers, but in a new way, the three-dimensionality of the original architecture.
