Urban Duality
This photographic series captures a silent dialogue between historic architecture and the palpable absence of daily life. The shots, while anchored in the tangibility of spaces, invite reflection that transcends the image fixed on film. The monochrome palette and the choice of black and white exalt the drama of architectural forms and chiaroscuro, highlighting the latent nature of places concealing untold stories. Each frame embodies a delicate balance between the immutability of time and the fleeting nature of human presence.
The images, characterized by an austere aesthetic and a thoughtful selection of perspectives and framing, unveil a reality both raw and lyrical, a metaphysical dimension where every element seems suspended between past and present. This visual corpus invites contemplation of the duality between the immobility of structures and the inexorable flow of time, between the solidity of stone and the transience of human experience, offering a vision that challenges conventional perception of the urban fabric.
Baroque textures, with their elaborate decorations, juxtapose against the purity of smooth surfaces, generating an interplay of lines and volumes that dialogue with the project’s metaphysical approach. This interaction between intricate ornaments and architectural minimalism reflects the indissoluble connection between historical heritage and contemporaneity. The proposed visual exploration urges a rediscovery of urban space, inviting reconsideration of the dialectical relationship between light and shadow, fullness and emptiness, memory and actuality. Thus emerges a visual meditation on the duality of urban experience, resonating with themes of identity and collective memory.
