Andrea Gravano | ||||
Andrea Gravano is a photographer based in Vigevano, in the north of Italy. His photographic project I’m presenting is called Genius Loci. Genius
Loci is not simply a serie of pictures showing abandoned industrial
places. It’s not a classic example of industrial archeology. It’s
something different, it’s a more complex and articulated research. Man
created, used, overworked and shaped these places to serve his will,
and in the end abandoned them, leaving them at the mercy of time with
its slow and inexorable effect. But despite of appearance human
presence is still tangible; a live presence. Man is now part of
structures, buildings, objects, in a close and indissoluble bond where
is nearly difficult to distinguish, separate the two elements: man and
structures. They are linked and mixed to form an unicum | ||||
