… Antonio Adamo's digitized photographs have a high optical perceptive value, we often do not find ourselves faced with images that move but with images that move the vision, to grasp their contents we must not stop at surface effects. His is an intense art whose fundamental points are constant research, the need not to stop at definitive formulations, the representation of movement and its evolution.
Antonio Adamo manages to convey the idea of a time in dizzying acceleration towards a not too distant, hyper-scientific, programmed, oppressive future where the individual will no longer be able to escape from the imposed conditioning and will no longer be free in the use of his own perceptive faculties . In the works of this artist the normal nature of things tends to merge with vibrant chromatic interferences, ''lysergic'' flows, veils that swallow and expel the forms. Antonio Adamo often throws in our faces images with a highly erotic content, fascinating at first sight, but which in reality are true flashbacks of ambiguous perceptions: echoes of times gone by; recycled emotions, distorted memories of eros and lost femininity, placing us in front of a ''post-sub-human'' reality in which those in charge have devised a system to sell orgasm reproduction machines so that individuals they no longer have to meet physically but receive the data in their brains. The distorted views of Las Vegas with advertising billboards seem to hide from our now plagiarized senses the imminent advance of an inexorable cannibalistic consumerism. The skyscrapers of New York, crossed by an unsettling silence, portrayed from below appear monstrous automatons, radiant in their tyrannical government of the world! Entering and exiting the works of this artist leads the gaze to move away from its usual references and to perceive reality and unreality in a delirious gestation towards the apocalyptic border of identity.
