"FLOWERS" are a series of images of ferrous scrap obtained from black and white negatives (medium format, 6x6), then digitally scanned, duplicated, and reflected on three sides.
The final images are made up of “mirrored” images mounted in a polyptych which, due to construction symmetries, becomes a new autonomous image (in addition to the digital montage, no other digital processing has been performed, apart from the normal adjustments of tones and contrasts).
The scrap, an apparently dead object but functional to an economy of recycling, described photographically by the new "mirror" image is reborn in a new form and in an unprecedented symmetry, becoming a metaphor for the new life cycle that the scrap will have once reused: the scrap from "refusal" it becomes similar to a "Flower".
The imploded matter takes on a new form that goes beyond the rules of perspective and therefore of traditional photography, but at the same time describes and tells an aesthetic of the material that speaks of our time.
By upsetting the rules of perspective in a kaleidoscopic game of duplications, the duplicated and overturned negative confuses the subject into a multifaceted monster that embodies infinite emotional representations, one for each spectator.
