TACHELES BERLIN BOX 4th floor
Oranienburgerstr. 54-56 Berlin Mitte

Cittadine cittadini
Pargoli enfants teen-agers babies
This is the program, è senza prezzo:
L'antico è favolistico folklore grezzo
Il moderno è iniziato e finito
Voilà l'età del mezzo
liberodemocraticoprogresso


Il diario di un viaggio, attraverso le citta' e le sue genti, un reportage di vita urbana di inizio millennio, a cavallo delle periferie e delle fabbriche dismesse, nei volti sporchi e fieri dei personaggi, nei crocevia di palazzi dove si intrecciano storie e tramandano racconti .
Una storia sussurrata attraverso trasparenze, immagini effime come ricordi, figure in controluce danzanti, silhouettes di edifici silenti.
Ma anche forte come una molotov che esplode, come una storia senza censura, come la vita raccontata senza filtro.
Un viaggio nell' underground dai forti bianco e neri e dagli accentuati contrasti. Ma con un tocco di fiabesco.
La giovane fotografa italiana, nata a Lecco nel 1985, dopo essersi laureata alla NABA a Milano, si e' trasferita a Berlino dove collabora con diversi artisti e con la galleria XLAB Corrosive Art Farm.

The diary of a journey through the city and its people, a reportage of urban life in the new millennium, among suburbs and abandoned factories, trough the dirty and proud faces of the characters, at the crossroads of buildings where lives intertwine and stories pass down.
A whispered story by means of transparent, ephemeral images as memories, backlit figures dancing, silent silhouettes of buildings.
Even as strong as a Molotov cocktail exploding like a story without censorship, or a lifestyle without a filter.
A journey into underground life, with its strong black and whites and accentuated contrast. But always with a touch of romance.
The young Italian photographer, born in Lecco in 1985, after graduating at NABA New Academy of Beauty Art in Milan, moved to Berlin where she lives and collaborates with various artists and with the artgallery XLAB Corrosive Art Farm.
