Fotografia italiana - Maurizio Galimberti

Maurizio Galimberti is one of the great authors of Italian photography. He works solely in Polaroid and is able to instantly connect with his subject, whether he is a Hollywood actor or an element of the urban landscape. In this film we follow Galimberti at work, as he talks about himself through his urban visions on the streets of New York and Milan, the mosaic portraits of actors and directors at the Venice Film Festival, the research on Dadaist manipulation and irreverence of its ready-mades.

Eidola

The objects continually send in the space around them the images of themselves. These images, called “edola”, go into the eye – by the pupil – so that they can reveal themselves. The air is full of no material images that fly in every direction. The objects constantly send images of themselves, as the snakes lost their skin when they grow up. A sort of perpetual transformation seems to be the ultimate characteristic of the bodies. And the air is constantly crossed by these ghosts, thin transparent coverings”. Democrito
