Carlo Valsecchi

A construction site offered the scenario for a big photographic project created by Carlo Valsecchi, the fruit of which is presented in the pages of this volume. The gaze of Carlo Valsecchi (Brescia, 1965) is educated by a solid artistic preparation: over the course of many years he’s been using photography to investigate architecture and, in a wider sense, the landscape, both natural and artificial. Valsecchi interprets these places by offering us a vision that transcends the space and the contingent moment: his images invite us to discover a timeless reality, which perhaps will eventually come: posterius. As William Ewing points out in his long afterword, Valsecchi gives us images of ethereal, abstract spaces that border on the surreal, managing to bring out the mystery inherent in them.
