About the Item
In between picture and painting, Nicolò Quirico's works are photographic prints on a collage of vintage book pages.
Photographs are not printed on white paper as usual but on sheets of old books, so that fragments of sentences, sequences of short stories and opening words of novels overlap with architectural elements by creating not random references – though sometimes cryptic or mysterious – because the books were chosen by the author so to create a harmony with the subjects portrayed.
This work compares the antiquity of a Greek statue with the new structure of the Louvre in Abu Dhabi

Nicolò Quirico has worked on visual communication and publishing since 1985, when he graduated at the Istituto Statale d’Arte in Monza. From 1996 to 2004 he worked on the Organization of the Morlotti-Imbersago Prize and began his artistic research, starting from the use of photography to create conceptual installations. He created refined matches between imagination and memory, between history and fantasy, as the travelling exhibition dedicated to the river Adda and the Bestiario dell’ora blu, published in the Il fotografo magazine. In 2009 he won the second edition of the national Prize organized by the Fondazione Piero e Vittorio Alinari of Florence entitled "Fotografare il territorio".

- Still Lives n. 3Located in Milano, MIThe “Still Live” photographs” are a manifesto of slowness, of the pleasure of observation, of recovery of reflection. Giangiacomo Rocco di Torrepadula takes an everyday object from his household, one that appears to no longer be useful because it is old, broken or only kept for its sentimental value. He places it in a space and makes use of his monorail camera. Before taking the shot, he studies the object calmly, engaging in an intimate dialogue with it until he finds a view that gives it a new life. It is hard to get it right the first time. All the various attempts are measured, calculated, slow. Speed does not belong to the monorail camera. Each attempt is well thought out, then developed in a darkroom and scanned using a special technique to bring out the image. It can take several days to get the right result. But these are days that have the pleasure of slowly rediscovering a past that you somehow manage to reclaim. Here, we are a long way away from the execution speed typical of digital and even further away from the frenetic exploitation of images on social media. The result is an image that erupts with its wealth of detail, which is especially explosive when printed in large format. The object becomes seductive, often turning into something else entirely, that may not be immediately perceptible. The perspective, the details, the light, all stimulate the observer to actively participate in this new vision. Far from being a nostalgic interpretation, the work leads the viewer to investigate the form, to pause, to observe the details, to get lost in the haziness, and in so doing, to regain possession of their time in a gesture of profound observation. In this hectic, busy, fast-paced world, nothing ever stops making sense...Category
