“In this series, the master from Marche distances himself from realistic documentation to reach a form of lyrical abstraction, where the boundary between sky and earth becomes almost indistinguishable. For Giacomelli, the series of the “Gabbiani” represented a moment of inner reflection. The flight of the birds becomes a metaphor of Freedom and Solitude; The chaotic yet harmonious movement of the flock reflects the restlessness and poetic quest of the author; one sees the Transfiguration of the Landscape: As in his plowed-field photos, here too Giacomelli “re-reads” nature, transforming a common event into a symbolic and timeless image.”
