The Walls of the City: stick, tear, paint, photograph, paint again and scratch.

 Covering the walls with posters and graffiti belongs to the very soul of the cities in these days. There is a cyclic procedure: stick the posters, paint and scratch, tear, stick posters again. In the works I now present, there is a reference to the process, though the pictures are only indirect documents. In each image, the way to follow until the final result  is allegoric in itself: after taking the picture there is the handwork: tear, scratch, paint, stick and write on the photograph, in a constructive destruction. Finally, I get back to the photographic procedure: printing in Cibachrome. And coming back to the wall to hang the very final work.                            click to enlarge:
