Saturday 22 June 2002 at 9.00 pm Andrea Galvani presents “Mezzi di trasporto” personal exhibition, curated by Fabiola Naldi, specially set up for the Artericambi space in Verona.
The artist / photographer exhibits seven new large-scale photographs relating the real exhibition space with the likely space of his latest photographic research.
The viewer is invited to free himself from useless superstructures of thought, to abandon himself to an idea of fantasy, of play, of returning to a childish dimension that Andrea Galvani has intentionally sought in this unpublished photographic series.
Means of transport, which deliberately alludes to the icon of the movement, is accompanied by a subtitle that sounds like a puzzle, a sentence to be deciphered: have you also seen megalo megalo man at the terminus of Hazzard?
Galvani talks about the afternoons after homework, award television, seventies TV series and superheroes. But it is the altered gaze in a child’s memory, the projection of a possible fantasy into the space of the imagination. It’s a story without a plot that starts over each time.
The means of transport are the games found among boxes abandoned in the cellar; the magical machines that were able to make us fly.
Galvani uses pure photography, intervenes on films in development, on filtering in the printing phase. His images reach a very high pictorial degree and allude to the digital universe without any computerized intervention. Only color, light and form in a unicuum given for technical analysis of the support: a support that is photographic and two-dimensional but which, at the same time, allows you to enter a parallel universe, in a fantastic and fabulous dimension where the impossible can happen and to exist.
The exhibition, accompanied by a catalog, will contain the text by Fabiola Naldi.
