Suite 43, Valencia
Erased by the Light. Instead of abandoning his re-compositive track, the artist gets closer to a diffuse, cathartic model. Photography becomes a constitutive tool of the human being, a prothesis, even a new definition of men capable to measure him. He interprets this concept of photography through the corporal dynamism.
Erased by the Light
Suite43 presents for the first time in Spain the early works of the young Italian artist Sergio Zavattieri.
We hover in the animated and cold plain of the constitution of the new world, of the new arts, where the fear of the fateful leads towards a new redemption, a new freeing of the experience.
The howl or the laceration, the desperation, doesn’t become a language which could substitute the movement to liberation, but it turns into a baconian movement in which the photos of Sergio Zavattieri (Palermo, 1970) empties his personages, setting them free from any feeling.
He provokes a tension on the spectator, who is aware that each work , each body, gives birth multiple germinations, the multiplication of the models.
Instead of abandoning his re-compositive track, he gets closer to a diffuse, cathartic model.
Photography becomes a constitutive tool of the human being, a prothesis, even a new definition of men capable to measure him. Sergio Zavattieri interprets this concept of photography through the corporal dynamism, establishing a total communication between image and photography, until the extent where the image is photography and vice versa.
The body moves itself stroke by stroke inside the camera, like that animal fauna of which Muybridge photographically captured the moves, this risky sliding. Through the human body, a new way to be, to exist, is re-defined in a new ontological abstraction, where each time the machine creates an extended barrier. The artist set us free from this barrier through the aesthetic illusion of the new vital abstraction of the body, this communication media which dignify us in this talking, immaterial, where digitalization and virtualization socialize in a new universe.
