Rosalia Filippetti and Nicola Lorusso

Italienisches Kulturinstitut, Hamburg

curated by Daniele De Luigi

Both Rosalia Filippetti (* 1968, Ancona, Italy) and Nicola Lorusso (*1959, Florence, Italy) devote a part of their photographic work to the subject »ocean«. This exhibition presents a selection of black and white photographs and contrasts the different perceptions and working methods of the two artists. Varying aspects are the mode of image formation, the relation to time and motion as well as the sort of printing process. However, astonishing similarities can be found in the atmosphere they create.

The sea and the beach form the background in many photographs of Rosalia Filippetti’s photo series "Movimenti marginali". The expressive pictures demonstrate her expert handling with "something in motion" – reached through her triggering in motion and her compository precision. People and objects are photographed in the way of a brief glance through a window, and this is the feeling which the observer gets when looking at these photographs.

In his "Diario del Mare" (diary of the sea), Nicola Lorusso collects ordinary situations from the lives of bathing people at Tuscan beaches and creates little stories within a detail of a photograph. However, his story turns more and more sparsely until it has lost any narrative aspect. The individual becomes trivial and eventually disappears completely to leave the scene to places which take up a metaphysical dimension in a frozen time.
