About the Item
The iconic buildings of modern architecture are wonderful. No doubt. Every single line is designed to create a result of power, glory, and undisputed beauty. Are you sure? … By questioning the significance and meaning referred to by the monumental character brought by these buildings, the author reflects on the way in which these reshape the lives of those who live them. Their life is all inside those walls. Their bosses, their colleagues, their co-workers will be even more familiar to them than their own families. Out of the stereotypes, this is what we call a cage. Big, seductive, powerful and wonderful, yes. Yet still a cage. A strange cage, with the door open. Because there is no need to close any doors if your own thoughts are locked in.

- Still Live n .1Located 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

- Diana - 'Stare'Located in Norwich, GBDavid Koppel served his photographic apprenticeship in the rough-and-tumble world of the Fleet Street paparazzi in 1980’s London when his skills captured the very essence of the Me Decade that gave birth to the celebrity culture of today. Koppel’s classic photographs of Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton & the Royal Family appeared in every major newspaper and magazine and marked him out as that rarity amongst press photographers: the artist with a camera. Building on the reputation gained through the photographs for the book Still Waters, his black-and-white portraits of ordinary people now rank among the many famous names in his portfolio. Koppel also went one better and in 2002 bought the St Giles St Gallery , bringing the best of local and international contemporary art and photography to Norwich, including the works of Sir Peter Blake, Terry O’Neill, David Bailey, Maggie Hambling, Storm Thorgersson, Tim Woolcock...Category
