Silenzi di forme - fotografie di Luca Gilli nel Parco dei Cento Laghi
The image is felt, visualized, takes shape in the peacefulness of a
meditation, before the shutters open themselves and the films and the
paper are dipped into the trays! Isn't it true that this is what we
perceive through the images by Luca Gilli? Without any sort of
barrenness, and far from writing a banal description, these images
awake, suggest, murmur, highlight. What else should I say?
Describing the images is useless, unnecessary. They already have their
own language. Quoting other names, evoking other considerable works of
art would not lead us further. Luca Gilli and the photographers we have
mentioned have in common their close relationship with nature. They
understand and respect it. They love taking pictures, they take them in
a personal and creative style. This is the secret. Nothing else.
Georges Vercheval (honorary director of the Photography Museum in Charleroi).
The
pictures by Luca Gilli do not deceive the readers of this book, their
beauty does not only depend on appearance, on the great formal
refinement, on the irreproachable technique, but also on an ancient
feeling which once linked man to nature, where the wood and the water
were spaces where the play was performed, where you could meet dragons
and sprites, where the fairy-tale was born to become tale in nights of
friendship, under the cosy warmth of the friendly stars. Places where
imagination was the queen and where the imaginary was intended at
perceiving noises and songs, meetings of fairies and struggles among
witches. All this lies behind pictures where each sign is "the
landscape beyond the mirror". Carroll's mirror.
