Visual Constructs

Visual Constructs

Synopsis: In 2019, inspired by the architectonical current called ‘brutalism’, I painted 30 medium format oil artworks. Since its beginning I thought about the idea to take raw format photos with my semiprofessional camera, in order to process them afterwards on photoshop and upload them to produce a shortcut. Such idea is the result of this experimental video.

Sinossi: Nel 2019, ispirandomi alla corrente architettonica chiamata “brutalismo”, ho dipinto 30 opere ad olio di medio formato. Fin dall’inizio ho pensato all’idea di scattare foto in formato raw con la mia macchina fotografica semiprofessionale, per poi elaborarle su Photoshop e caricarle per produrre una scorciatoia. Da tale idea è risultato questo video sperimentale.
