“Spazio e Tempo”



Digital photography series
2012/2015



An analogy to what is called a piano sequence in film. I took advantage of the width of the format to enhance the spatial vision of the horizon and a sum of phenomena related to places, both internal and external. To better understand the meaning of panorama, we could think of the etymology of the word, which also suggests its meaning: global vision, from the Greek PAN-all and ORAMA-seeing. Photographs that give rise to an expanded vision in the relationship between space and time.
What I like about this genre of photography is the interest I put into every single shot, every single frame: as if time is stretched for me too when I photograph. I took these photos by gradually rotating the camera, on the horizontal and vertical axis, sometimes even using the stability of the tripod.
Before taking the picture, I analysed the correct depth of field in order to obtain the greatest possible pan-focus, and found the appropriate distance between the object and the camera lens.
The next step is to combine the individual shots to create a single panoramic image, putting all the images together in a precise order.
After this operation, it is as if I am in the situation I have 'filmed', not having seen the single overall image until a later, final moment. As with analogue photography, you only see your photos after they have been developed and printed from negative to positive.
