Les yeux-vers

"Sottotitoli"

As a mlatter of fact these "Sub - titles" melt my step. How can a title be a "inductor of glance" which predetermines the reading of an image?

How does the shape of the letters target the rays of a light filtered by the shade of the words, fallacious and sometimes blinding?

So all these photographs are drawn with the title integrated into the image because it creates it and it lights it!

The pigment of ink...

That of coal...

... "eye-towards" the diffracted visions of a polymorphic woman stress who plugs herself with the sun of my words and appears with the crystal of my lenses, fragile ocular prostheses for this very reason supported by the tutor of the letters which direct your glances.

The image ceases being to become. I knead it, tame it, baptize it. May this pagan sacrament invite you to the communion of visions which appear really only in the black of the memory when, closed eyelids, your eyes dare to blow in your heart the pulsations of grains and pixels of my sand glass release of dreams shooter.
