Alberto Andreis and Giovanni Marinelli are the leading actors of a two-person show whose object focuses on the interpretation of reality through the study of the city as a physical and metaphysical organism.
The title of the show, Le città invisibili, is a clear tribute to the astonishing, and still today innovative, work of the great Italian writer Italo Calvino.
The spirit of the exhibition is to speak of a city which is personal, intimate, hidden; of cities which could be here, but which perhaps are elsewhere. A location which, being difficult to place, renders them effectively invisible.
Giovanni Marinelli is veteran photographer who in this new production manages to crystallize with a gesture an atmosphere, a thought. The artist identifies in the darkness and the unsaid his modus operandi. Little, very little light, almost complete darkness. Black is the colour of caos, of the unrecognisable. His Blackplaces create a communication which is free of traditional models, which tends to whisper the incommunicable rather than shouting it loudly. A choice which seems to rise from an internal determination veiled in nostalgia, in sad memories which slowly come to the surface.
The atmosphere of Alberto Andreis’s pictures, a multi-talented artist, are just as nostalgic, while remaining effectively diverse. His work moves in a territory of proximity, but not of complete identification and his are images of urban subjects which are not bound by the requirements of architectural visualization. Blues, Reds, Blacks, and Greens – the titles of his images. The binding theme in his narrative is a detail which underlines; a light, a sign, an atmosphere, a profile becomes the point of thematic emanation.
The invisible city is a dreamlike atmosphere, a symbol. It is fiction and illusion, it is to lie and to tell the truth. Its own truth. With the eyes of those who observe it and differently in the eyes of those who see. The invisible cities of these two photographers can be found in the depths of memory, in the unconscious or in reasoning, the figures of many cities to be told. Both have the ability to interpret, through art, the spirit of time, and express it in complete liberty.
