The Writer, loneliness, Barbara and purity

"Last October, on the occasion of the initiatives that celebrate the two hundredth anniversary of the Park of Monza, won the Rottapharm to the big city Brianza installation "Writer" by Giancarlo Blacks. The massive work composed of a chair height of 10 meters and a high table 7.50 and 11 meters wide, made of wood and steel with a total weight of over 4 tons, was placed permanently in the heart of the park itself. "

" A deeper meaning to the writer links the locations chosen. The work, as explained by the Blacks, "celebrates the solitude of the writer, symbolizing the creative process of writing, which" forces "in total isolation from the outside world. The writer, estranged from the reality that surrounds him, remains alone at the table on which he works. Placing The Writer in the open spaces of city parks, cross the boundaries between inner and outer world, between open and closed locations. The work undo the restrictions imposed from display, and fits seamlessly in place of daily visits, establishing a deep bond with nature. "

" The writer is always alone. Only with his writing, his thoughts, his experience, his memories, his hopes. Hope to be read, you judge someone, including you, help you understand what you mean with your writing. A virtuous circle from time to time, vicious, perverse, exhilarating, intriguing, mysterious, who takes you by the throat, with white sheet on the desk in front of the keyboard, your fingers feel thrilled that they want to communicate what they think, what do you mean, but perhaps not as you know, to pretend to do so then understand who you read, if anyone will flow your words. Yet you continue to write. And you're alone at that table. Now you can find it there in the park, the sun or the fog, night or day. And 'he means the writer. The chair in front of the giant table. Can not you see, but feel his presence. Maybe it's you who sit on that chair. You write that. You who read. In the park, at Monza. "

I quote from an article by Galloway read in full here:

"The writer is a reflection on silent and solitary nature of the creative process of writing, the celebration of the victory of imagination on the isolation from the outside world to which writers must submit to tell the tale. The table and chair, with their abnormal size, and their place in open spaces, became symbols of the condition of the writer, the tools of his victory but also of his sentence. "

" After two years of staying at Villa Ada in Rome, the work has come to the place which was initially conceived, Hampstead Heath, the park of the writers in London. After his stay in England, Parliament Hill Fields, the writer will return to Italy, to find Final placement in the Park of Monza. To mark the bicentenary of the birth of the Park's work will in fact be donated to the City of Monza Rottapharm, multinational pharmaceutical company, with headquarters in Monza. "

I quote from the official press release from the town of Monza:

I came across the giant crab Blacks by-case basis. With Barbara I was walking Park's paths, as these days it happens more frequently than daily. In view of the signals yellow paint on the asphalt, which bore a terse "writer" and nothing more, caught by curiosity, we began to follow them. Not expecting anything like this, when we found ourselves in front of a table and a chair of gigantic dimensions, we were literally speechless. The effect of this is really extraordinary, and it was even more given the surprise of finding something new in an area long known and loved.

As always happens to me the first thing that came to mind was to make some pictures. There is a unique work of art, in the truest sense of the term, the camera captures images every- with me and with me is an extraordinary model: Barbara. The photo did the rest. It is not the first time I create an image of this kind with the same person repeated several times within the same location. It 's a thing I find funny and has in the ability to create infinite verianti and send different messages. In this case, because I particularly like the photo shows a work of art itself already has a lot to say, conceptual art, of course, we can read what everybody wants, but what I have read in 'The writer 'fits perfectly synergistic with what I wanted to communicate with my image, although in fact the arguments different.

Barbara is a rare person. This would be enough to make me love. But one of its best features is the fact that he kept inside when the girl was and that, therefore, very often, still is. I'm not dealing with just childish, I'm saying that you can be in 28 years played the exact same girl that was twenty years ago. Not a woman who behaves as a child but a child, period. This is a wonderful gift. Only people have it as well because we need the ingenuity of the total good, that of Samwise Gamgee of Lord of the Rings, so to speak (which not coincidentally is the sole bearer of the Ring that is not subjugated and the real savior of Middle-earth), to be able to keep itself intact, the child's self despite all the blows that must suffer as the increase in adult eyes and of opening to the world. You should be able to renounce evil, not just the ignorance of those who met him, but the repudiation of those who have already hit my face. This is Barbara.

A person who is able to play on par with a girl of eight years to the point that it will be this little girl to consider her a playmate her like an adult and do not play that lends itself to it. Two eyes that look innocent and curious nature and the world that she is an endless cornucopia of wonders. Capable of soaring enthusiastic to say the least contagious and an irrepressible desire to play.

What would Barbara, and in part made possible, in front of a work of art consists of a chair and a table would have been gargantuan climbing, do somersaults, lie down and look around smiling hopping here and there, peeping out between the legs of the table, playing hide and seek, lie down to watch the sun and sky, do somersaults and back again, bouncing everywhere.

This picture tells so much of what is Babi or at least one of the sides of his personality.

"The world has changed. I feel it in the water, I feel it in the ground, the I feel in the air. Much of what was is lost, because now no one lives who remembers "

with these words spoken by the Elf Queen Galadriel opens the prologue to the first film of the trilogy The Lord of the Rings. Although he was referring to Galadriel changes far more radical and significant, these words came to my mind often, as I watched the changing nature and my thoughts on how long languid in her nature, seems to have no memory of the passing seasons (except that all the trees in their record books wood), but simply outline, in an infinite loop and forgetful.

traditional Spring begins March 21 day of 'Equinox, but the weather begins on the first of the month. So here we are. But for those trained to grasp the meaning, the change is perceptible for a long time. The buds swell, in some cases already open early, the first insects to flit here and there at a brisk, in fact, quite drunk. But is something in particular that has changed and the air can be felt. Galadriel is right. After all the elves know the really long.

I remember the first hints that something new, music, a warmth, a joy to travel through the air, they had already January 11th and I was happy coincidence that brought me these intangible but the happy news my birthday.

may seem ridiculous I know, but I swear the plants have sprawled and laugh with joy these days. If you do not hear is why do not you know listen to them. But there is someone like me who has heard the call.

Yesterday I went for a long walk in the park, with the intention of meeting the great trees that live there. But the real surprise was to find lots of squirrels cavorting in the trees. On the ears still had long plumes that make their winter coat. But hunger was that after the long rest leads them to be so brave and running very active looking for food.

They allowed me to photograph them, as I encounter someone interesting, someone a bit annoyed because he did not want to be distracted from its laborious bustle. Here they are:

I take this opportunity to thank all those who came at the opening of the exhibition. This will be open until 25th March. For those who just could not come here under you, click on the thumbnail, see the captions that were hung in the views themselves and which contain a smaller reproduction of the panorama. I added one in the photo gallery where you can see the 14 views. The Board is, rather than seeing them in the viewer here next go to the page 'Photos' where you can see a bit' larger (alas all too little for a panorama).

considerations around the panoramic photography (small introductory guide to the show) to show

Photography nature and in particular the mountain was, in the wide world of images, my first love. Bring a camera with me when hiking in mountains, valleys and woods is how to combine pleasure with pleasure. Always nothing gratifies me and gives me feelings like cathartic to go to mountains, photography allows me to take home a piece of those moments, a fragment of those feelings without actually prey on the nature of its riches. It 's like going hunting without hurting anyone or go for mushrooms, leaving everything in place. The nature photographer has the unique privilege to go to a place, enrich, and leave the place as he found it, depleted in any way.

The photograph in the mountains encloses many aspects, from macro photography of a flower or an insect to photograph the hides of animals. Naturally, however, essential that the photographer feels in the mountains is to capture the magnificent landscapes that can be seen only in these places, the relentless succession of peaks and ridges, rock pinnacles and snowy pyramids which can be seen from the top of a high mountain, the articulation of a path to a green valley dotted with trees and huts. These and thousands of other situations.

what is the problem? The problem is that in almost any case you can not deliver the breadth of a landscape within the confines of a photograph without a notebook the "breath". A frame size without appeal to the world that goes beyond its borders. The remove from reality that it creates in the mind of the viewer. Obviously there are frames and the 3:2 is better than 4:3 and 16:9 is even better. But even the rectangular format, such as the old, in fact, "Overview" of some film cameras, it is still too narrow, in my view for many landscapes. Because the beauty of a landscape in the mountains is just that the boundaries are elusive and the view extends everywhere take advantage of just such a lack limits, accustomed as we are, the city's creatures, not knowing what the longer horizon. Our eyes caught between buildings and concrete, the immensity of the sky relegated to a few slots left free by the vertical growth of our urban jungle.

therefore not enough to have a wide spintissimo the limits of the Fish-Eye and even the most stretched of photo sizes, we need another solution. At the time of the film were invented special cameras that turned automatically in sync on a tripod while the film turned inside its housing. The result was perfect but the method was inconvenient and expensive. Also in this field, however, the advent of digital technology has caused a revolution. Now through the use of numerous software (I will use a dozen) can be combined into one single digital photo panorama exactly the size that we please. Achieve a perfect result is not always easy because there are problems with parallax, exposure and so on, but, finally, the landscapes regain their "comprehensive" and look at the reality that you are "unrolled" in the face as both two-dimensional , gives the viewer the same vision that had the photographer (or at least you get closer than ever).

phases to be addressed once we returned home from the excursion is about to begin post-production are defined: Aligning, Equalizing, Overlapping, Warping, blending, stitching, and finally rendering. A process according to the software can be more or less automated. Some programs are fast anltri lenses, some easy, someone else very complex. But nobody is perfect and the best solution is to integrate more than one, depending on the views to be obtained by exploiting the positive aspects of each one of them. The substance is then that "panoramizzare" in a professional way remains a manual process in some way (and it gives satisfaction) and the computer is essential as it is only a useful tool in the hands of creativity.

In some cases, for example when I'm on top of a mountain and you may not have much time to stay there all I do is take pictures in every direction, only at a later time when I'm at home, uniting them, will choose the framing, the viewing angle, the subject of the landscape. The photographer of landscapes then, somehow, the only requirement, once you find a place worthy of "map" pictures of the area. The creative aspect will come later, comfortably in front when the computer will choose what enters the area photographed in the famous "edge of the frame" and what not.

The freedom of action is greatest. Nothing prevents, for example to dial a full 360 degrees. Usually I always do it from the top of the mountains, more than any other place that allows the eye to wander just for all the three hundred sixty degrees. But I'm not a lover of landscapes too long. Sure they have a descriptive value, "didactic" we might say, in the sense that let you see everything you could really see if you were there, it really is to transfer the entire visual of a place in a single image. From the artistic point of view but in a landscape so long is missing an essential aspect of creativity of the photographer and the 'appeal' of a photographic image, ie the shot. The ability of a photographer is in large part in that, to find the shot that makes the subject more interesting for the viewer, distributing "weights" in the image correctly. In a 360 degree the ability to distribute and enjoyable subjects in the frame in the frame is included because it is less 'whole' and therefore is even less pleased that you are looking at a picture with a BALANCE an apt and original cut. Finding the right length of a landscape is therefore a question of balance between the need to end the frame boundaries of frames too small to have the great impression of a landscape and while away the need to preserve as much as possible ' existence of a "cut" to support an artistic approach to the image thus going beyond the mere representation of places. The views of the exhibition viewing angles between 72 and 300 degrees.

should not forget that the "Panoramizzazione" or more generally the possibility to combine software is a series of digital photos arrangements which only a means to creativity and the horizontal panorama of a landscape is just the most obvious uses. Nothing prevents, for example, to create a vertical panorama, perhaps to photograph a giant tree is too large to fit in a photo or why not take a "macro-pano" by combining a series of close-up pictures that allow, for example, to map in a single image, the long single file of thousands of small ants that travel the busy road between the nest and a food source. These are just examples, among other things, always within the nature photography, use the "Stitching" as the British call this technique in a way a bit different. But possible applications are endless. This exhibition is just one approach to the world of panoramic images, and then, apart from a pair of vertical stitching, has only breathtaking landscape classics. It might be fun later realize an exhibition that highlights the most original and artistic approaches to this technique.

What To Do At A Church Banquet

The title does not do of course refer to a real temperature but are 180 degrees to the visual landscape of a "type", while 'Below Zero' refers to the fact that they were taken at high altitude.
