Cities declinated as immense open-air reading rooms.
The depicted characters are captured casually, not posed.
begun in 2003 and still ongoing), in which the cities are declined as immense open-air reading rooms, whose boundaries, embracing stairs, walls, alleys and monuments, become easily refuges in which to surrender to one’s preferred authors. Montecucco manages to evoke that gentle, malleable atmosphere ready to welcome and nurture the reader, preserving the intimacy of the sweetest 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 enhanced by the concept of reading, and therefore of Culture.
Photography, with its casual readers, is protagonist of the architectures and the magnificent works of art scattered through our art cities; it merges with them, creating an intimate, silent dialogue between man, art and thought.
The depicted characters are captured casually, while they are absorbed in reading, often with their backs turned and constantly unaware of being part of a work of art.
Claudio Montecucco tells his project 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 proof that this world can exist."
