Description from the seller

Nu conceptual / Abstract Street Photography Artist's Proof (A.P.) 1/1 – Integrated in-camera multiple exposure Fine Art print mounted on Aluminium Dibond – 60x40 cm ->Unique piece!

The writer's words:
The work invites the gaze like a sophisticated visual palimpsest, capable of unsettling the linearity of time and space. Through the rigorous use of in-camera multi-exposure — an avant-garde technique that excludes digital post-production in favor of a simultaneous and irreversible stratification of light on the sensor — the author fuses three distinct semantic codes into a single two-dimensional plane:

The anthropic dimension (The Nude): The sculptural silhouette of a naked female body vertically traverses the frame, acting as a bearing axis. The profile face, tilted backward with eyes closed, expresses meditative ecstasy, a total inward retreat that contrasts with the public nature of the peripheral environment.

The tectonic dimension (The Architecture): The rationalist façades, the dense geometric weave of windows, and the vertical lines of the buildings penetrate the subject's flesh. The iconic clock tower (whose acronym “MIG” evokes a precise modernist and industrial historicity) is not limited to serving as a background but remodels the anatomical volumes of the subject.

The kinetic dimension (The Street): In the lower part, the spectral silhouette of an urban tram cuts horizontally through the composition. This element introduces a dynamic of movement and quotidian life that anchors the lyrical abstraction in the febrile reality of metropolitan life.

The hard and broken lines of the urban installation (the high-tension cables, the edges of the buildings) dialogue in a perfect dialectical balance with the smooth, organic curves of the body. The chaos of the city is thus interiorized, filtered and finally calmed by human presence.

The mention P.A. 1/1 elevates the work beyond the logic of technical reproducibility of Benjaminian matrices. In an era saturated with digital images replicated to infinity, this unique piece documents the unique and unrepeatable act through which the author sanctions the perfect success of the light stratification. In the absence of any further computer manipulation, the work preserves the purity of instant intuition: the city becomes body and the body becomes city, crystallized in a unique and definitive piece.

"The artist invites us here to choose our own reality: the harmonious tumult of the village or the sovereign silence of the inner kingdom."

Attention: This work is a rare collectible piece. Unlike classical prints, this is a complete physical installation. The shipping cost reflects the weight of the whole and the maximum protection required for this unique piece.
