Project Description
Nicola Vinci
” I always worked focusing my attention on the elements that characterize the drama, that always, embraced our existence. “
Born in Castellaneta (Ta) 22 January 1975.
He lives and works in Verona
Nicola Vinci is to one of the most lyrical and narrative Italian photographers, internationally known and followed by more careful criticism. The Storie (Stories) are realized in 2013 and composed of ten environments of deep and disturbing poem, where two children are questioning the observer, asking in a gentle way the mystery of life, the feelings of the beginning and of the end of things.
Questions that only children could make, with rooms full of suspended time, between objects that tell a story intimate and elusive, yet known to all: that the life of every day, full of spirituality and poetry.Each photo is made with true Giclèe print and mounted on dibond; another cycle is entitled Il Nodo (The Knot): the photographs are arranged in a composition of several pieces, to form landscapes as fragments of glances and places, once again intended to question the public on the significance of time and space through the vision of environments, the streets, the skies and details that we look and life every day.
