“Motionless, stare into space, I was sinking in regions I thought were unreachable…”
Stanisław Lem – Solaris – 1961
The project “Polaroid blooming”, comprehending a body of work of more than 50 images, is born from the necessity to abandon oneself to less codified expressive channels, during the quest for additional creative freedom.
By adopting typical techniques of abstract painting to instant photography (specifically a re-elaboration of grattage skills by scrapping emulsion on polaroid support) and by working with analog and digital means, I intended to realize images that allow, both during the creative process and the act of fruition, to let oneself go to unconscious and potentially liberating automatisms.
From the beginning, from the first application of the emulsion on the surface, until the final details of digital postproduction, references given by the interaction between texture, color and form are shaped in my mind.
Immersive texture, forms and colors which are synonymous of dynamism and at the same time of contemplation and abandonment of senses, in the hope that who is looking at the works can lose him- or herself not in mine, but in his/her unconscious, emotional and cultural references.
