Confine #288-289

Located in the eastern Californian desert, Death Valley is the lowest, driest and hottest area in North America. The dazzling light, therefore the incapability of seeing is portrayed by the photographer by selecting portions of the negative, distilling fragments of the landscape and making them become symbolic lines between inconsistency and matter, almost as scars of light and time. By using an alternative process in the darkroom, the photographer emphasizes the elements that make the landscape violent and extreme. The synergy of chemicals and the sensitive nature of paper give shape to peculiar tonalities.

L’état de latence que renferme la photographie est aux origines de la recherche visuelle de Vittoria Gerardi : révéler la frontière qui sépare le visible de l’invisible, fuir toute représentation de la réalité imprimée dans le négatif.
