THE LIMITS OF THE IMAGE

  

This work has resulted from the knitting of two different photographs, a knitting of different cities and faces, an interweaving of the inter- and outer- space. Perspective is present not with its renaissance meaning but as the ascription of the contemporary and smashed environment, real but also imaginary.

Axes here do not converge to a node. The axes that consist the space of each work-piece are these of north and south; of east and west. The axes are tied vertically and create pixels; autonomous, unique data cells, reminding of a map with meridians and equators whose crossings give the traces of a double world.

I could say, changing Wittgenstein words, that the limits of my images are the limits of my world. Which could be though the limit of an image? Does it separate imaginary and differentiate it from the real making us unable to speak over imaginary’s limits? One way or another, the limits of language and the limits of the image are a barrier and we cannot say anything more…
