The Growth Of Technology - From Marble to Digital•The Art Through the Materials (Single)
DESCRIPTION
This project is a personal research on materials in an artistic context. As time goes on Art has known a lot of different techniques and materials and my idea was to represent how they can influence the same subject. I have chosen the picture of the sculpture “The Rape Of Polissena” by Pio Fedi that I took in Florence. I have been impressed by this sculpture and I think it's perfect to represent the strength of evolution both of technologies and Art. In this work there are four different photographic techniques. From right to left: Marble print with Liquid Light; Photo Etching print; Darkroom print; Digital print. The man (The Evolution) is carrying the woman (The Art) with strength, through time (The Materials). From Marble as the ancient sculptures through Photo Etching on Watercolor Paper as a first print technique, then through a classical photographic Darkroom print on a Warmtone Paper, direct into the new Digital world on a Photographic Metal Paper. The female body is leaving the past marble without leaving and also the man has had to enter into the past to bring her into the future. Know the past, know the history and build the future.
