Series "Leggere" (photographs not posed)
The cities declined as immense reading rooms of open air.
The depicted characters are captured casually, not posed.
started in 2003 and still in progress), in which cities are presented as immense reading rooms open to the sky, whose boundaries, embracing stairs, low walls, alleys and monuments, easily become refuges in which to surrender to one's preferred authors. Montecucco manages to bring out that mild, malleable atmosphere ready to welcome and care for the reader, preserving the intimacy of the most tender moment from the chaos of the cities.
In the case of the images presented by Montecucco, the artist has managed to give an additional meaning to his works, which have been strengthened by the concept of reading, and thus of Culture.
The photography with its casual readers is the protagonist of the architectures and the magnificent works of art scattered through our art cities; it blends with them, creating an intimate, silent dialogue between man, art and thought.
The depicted characters are casually captured while absorbed in reading, often with their backs turned and constantly unaware of being part of a work of art.
Claudio Montecucco tells his project by using the words of Robert Doisneau:
"What I was trying to show was a world where I would feel good, where people would be kind, where I would find the tenderness I hoped to receive. My photos were like evidence that this world can exist."
