Suoni is an artist’s book conceived as a visual score.

The images, made on 4×5” negative film and printed as silver gelatin prints, arise from a process of deep listening to photographic matter.

Tones of grey replace musical notes, shaping a rhythm of suspension, repetition, and variation.

The book is not simply leafed through but traversed, following an intimate sequence of hand-stitched images.

Music becomes a mental condition rather than a quotation.

Each photograph is an accord, each tonal value a vibration that holds time.

Suoni is a unique work where image, gesture, and memory converge.

 

Suoni è un libro d’artista concepito come una partitura visiva.

Le immagini, realizzate su pellicola negativa 4×5” e stampate in gelatin silver print, nascono da un processo di ascolto profondo della materia fotografica.

La scala dei grigi sostituisce le note musicali, costruendo un ritmo visivo fatto di sospensioni, ritorni e variazioni.

Il libro non si sfoglia ma si attraversa, seguendo una sequenza intima di immagini cucite a mano.

La musica che accompagna da sempre l’autore diventa condizione mentale, non citazione.

Ogni fotografia è un accordo, ogni tonalità una vibrazione che trattiene il tempo.

Suoni è un’opera unica, in cui immagine, gesto e memoria coincidono.
