This installation is composed by the photograph "Valencia # 7" of the "Biocites series and a steel sculpture painted with acrilic. Every part of the sculpture corresponds to the same part of the photograph. Project "(De)Compositions - Metaphor of Life” tells my research that starts from photography of architecture to tell, with a metaphor, two stories: a) the story of our ability to transform, for better or for worse, the environment in which we live; b) the story of the personality evolution of each of us, through decomposition and recomposition of our emotions and life experiences. My research began photographing landscapes of contemporary architecture. Using particular shooting perspectives and compressing the depth of the place through a strong zoom, I transform the landscapes of contemporary architecture in abstract geometries, in which depth and three-dimensionality of the original place often disappear altogether. But then, using the same geometrical shapes that are in the architectural photo, I realize installations in plexiglass and glass sculptures in which I recovery the three-dimensionality of original location, but reintepreting it. Then the path starts from the three-dimensional architecture to arrive at the two-dimensionality of a geometric abstract photography, and then returned again to three-dimensional installations in plexiglass or glass sculptures formed by the geometric elements that made up the photograph. The result of this change is a different place than the original, but made with his own bricks: another environment, or a new and different person, but always of the same original material. It is a conceptual circuit in which you can probably gather reminiscences of artists like Malevich, Mondrian, El Lissitsky, Rothko, Peter Halley, but also of psychiatrists as Freud, Jung and others.

Carlo D'Orta (Italy, 1955). Art Photography. Art Studio in Rome, Piazza Crati 14, 00199. www.carlodortaarte.it/en/ He has pursued his passion for photography for 40 years. He attended advanced painting classes at the Rome University of Fine Arts (RUFA) and a Master in Photography at the European Institut of Design (IED) in Milan, and devoted himself to the study of contemporary art. As a result, his photographic perspective undergoes a radical change. He abandons the documentary approach and try shots that tend towards abstraction, or tinged with a metaphysical/surrealist vision. The color sensitivity gained during the training gives to his photographs a strong painting characterization, sometimes because of limited interventions in post-production on lights and colors. He favors Architecture - focusing on de-contextualization of the details and the deformation produced by the reflection - and Dance. To the Architecture he dedicates first series "Berlin: White, Grey, Light" and "Vibrations" (in which it is clear the influence of futuristic vision), and later, from 2012, the series "Biocities" and "Geometries Still Life "(where instead there is a strong reminiscence of Cubism, Constructivism and moving color fields). In 2013 also starts the series "(Re)FineArt" aiming at a metaphysical vision of the architecture of large industrial complexes and whose title is a deliberate and provocative pun, combining the concept of art with that of one of the productions polluting what it is refining. To the Dance he approaches instead during his experience, from 2012, as component of the Board of National Academy of Dance. Born here the photographic series "Liquidance", where the focus is also often directed at particular decontextualized, shadows, vibration movement. In the last two years his research knows more strong evolutions arriving to the series titled "(De)Compositions". Here D'Orta, thanks to the shoot position and zoom, realise a strong compression of perspective and transformed landscapes of contemporary architecture in abstract geometries in which three-dimensional depth disappears. But then, using the geometric fragments that make up these photographs, she creates installations in plexiglass and glass sculptures in which recovers, but in a new way, the three-dimensionality of the original architecture.
