Absence is a sharper presence. It applies to the voice, to the hearing. It applies to people who were there and no longer there. It is worth for us that we do not stop for a moment to look for what is not there. To desire what is missing.
(Concita De Gregorio)
The noise of absence
“The noise of absence” is a psychological journey, a journey that starts from the ruins of the tremendous earthquake of Amatrice. Natural events that have upset a city, a region, an entire nation. Through the earthquake, certainties, daily life, lives have broken and a great emptiness has been created, a great absence.
The photographic project wants to tell The journey that every person has to face to live with the absence, a journey made of conflicting feelings, from rejection to anger to the final acceptance of pain in a constant internal mutation.
It is an obligatory path that is told by the key words of the work:
Negation, Mutation, Fragments, Acceptance.
The images, through the form of abstraction and the symbolic research of the elements, the different points of view tell of this psychological path that the earthquake causes within those who live it and those who must undergo it.
The result is a visual archeology that draws from our present and from our past telling our contemporary.
