Series "Reading" (photographs not posed)
Cities declinated as immense reading rooms open to the sky.
The represented characters are captured casually, not posed.
started in 2003 and still ongoing), in which cities are expressed as vast reading rooms whose boundaries, embracing stairways, low walls, alleys and monuments, easily become refuges in which to surrender to one’s preferred authors. Montecucco manages to evoke that gentle, malleable atmosphere ready to welcome and care for 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 gained strength from the concept of reading, and thus of Culture.
The photographs with their casual readers take center stage in the architectures and the magnificent works of art scattered through our cities of art; they merge with them, creating an intimate and silent dialogue between man, art and thought.
The portrayed 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 resorting to 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."
