Gazelli Art House Baku hosts exhibition of Italian photographer
Baku, March 15 (AZERTAC). Gazelli Art House Baku has hosted an exhibition of Giovanni Ozzola, well known Italian photographer.
The media representatives gave an exclusive opportunity to look at the exhibition by Giovanni Ozzola before its official opening. That would be an informal meeting in a Q&A format.
Giovanni Ozzola Born in Florence in 1982; lives and works in Tuscany. For Gazelli Art House Ozzola invites the observer to embark on a cognitive experience by presenting the work "Consequence - almost dark," 2010.
The work consists of a triptych of large-scale photographic images that represent a water surface animated by ripples, seemingly caused by drops formed by the humidity of its surrounding environment. The images take the viewer to a suspended, indefinite time, capturing them in an absolute and almost metaphysical dimension. "Consequence - almost dark" exhibited alongside a video installation "Alba", 2009, which depicts an illustration of time and the effect it has on light. The video shows an interior setting and how the light changes over the course of a day.
Just as flipbooks create animation through a rapid succession of individual photos, so Ozzola strives to represent the movement of light. Ozzola recaptures individual images of his own vision, impressing them on the paper as though they were a blinking of the eye. Light is the recognisable sign of the passing of time. It is sunlight, the physical phenomenon that marks out our days, but it is also artificial light that guides the eyes and defines the objects. Light is a wave that enables us to perceive matter, but it is also a means for impressing an image and bringing it to life.
The exhibition from the collection of Giovanni Ozzola will be on display till May 26.
