“Spazio e Tempo”



Digital photography series
2012/2015



It is 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, as well as a variety of phenomena related to places, both internal and external. To better understand the meaning of 'panorama', consider the etymology of the word, which also suggests its meaning: 'global vision', from the Greek 'PAN' (all) and 'ORAMA' (seeing).
These photographs give rise to an expanded vision of the relationship between space and time.

What I like about this genre of photography is the attention I pay to every single shot and frame, as if time stretches for me too when I take a photograph. I took these photos by gradually rotating the camera on the horizontal and vertical axes, sometimes using the stability of the tripod.

Before taking a picture, I analyse the correct depth of field to achieve the greatest possible pan-focus and determine 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 by arranging the images in precise order.

After this process, I feel as if I am in the situation I have 'filmed', having not seen the overall image until a later moment. As with analogue photography, you only see your photos once they have been developed and printed from negative to positive.
