L’onda silenziosa dell’azzurra montagna (The silent wave of the blue mountain)
Francesca Vigani

2022 Digital Photographs – ink print on gloss paper.


As it is too big to be understood in its entirety, I approached the mountain with a microscopic view. I listened to the latent life hidden in the body of this silent giant. I wanted to explore the sometimes "desert-like" immobility of this landscape in order to appreciate its complexity.
The rocks fall and stratify like the dust in our homes and memories.
The slow mutation of the mountain from large rocks to pebbles and dust is part of these huge "inanimate" bodies just as for human bodies.

Photographs transform real places into places of the mind: abstraction and dreams are central parts of my research. The gloss paper chosen to print these photos is an integral part of my work:
the matte paper is a tangible presence, but at the same time it evokes a hidden and intimate dimension.
