Inusuale mostra sull’incompiuto", Lanciano, Italy, based on the theme of the unfinished, incomplete work. DESCRIPTION The same subject (the Torre del Valico of Forca di Penne) photographed from two different points of view, together with a tree located near the tower, are the origin of the triple exposure visible in this image. This multiple exposure operation gives us an effective photograph in capturing and documenting the intermediate stages of a creative process which normally ends with the final choice of composition and shot which will give the final aspect of a completed photographic image. For this reason, the photograph presented here cannot be considered properly defined / finished or completed in itself, on the contrary it must be seen as a fragment of a path that still remains open and indeterminate in its final outcome. The proposed operation, conceptually, rhymes by contrast with the condition of the main subject of the photo, the tower: the creative process of which this image is testimony opens the way towards the possible materialization on the photographic paper of the tower, on the contrary the tower in itself, today, is simply disappearing, as it falls apart. Just when an image is forming in the camera through my gaze and my lens, the matter of the tower slowly, but inexorably, disintegrates and vanishes (complicit institutional neglect and ineptitude, true causes of decline and condemnation to the oblivion of this monument). The fog, of which the whole scenario is pervaded, in a certain sense can be considered the medium that facilitates and visually allows the implementation of this cross transition: from the material to the imaginary and vice versa.
