Simonato Andrea (29 results)

Paperback. Condition: New. Delving beneath the surface of everyday life, Andrea Simonato explores a world of underground caves and stone quarries in his second monograph, Antro. Historically prompting a wide array of interpretations -such as sacred boundaries between the human and divine, practical places of refuge or dwellings of the supernatural- caves have attracted countless cultures due to their distinctly ambiguous qualities. Today, these underground structures offer a stark contrast to the precisely defined nature of our above-ground surroundings. The entanglement of corridors and caverns seemingly strip themselves of worldly notions and, in their presence, ask us to do the same. Wandering through a cluster in the hills of South Vicenza, Italy, Andrea delicately approaches both the intricacies and magnitude of these spaces."During the time of the pandemic, I made a habit of climbing the paths leading to the caves and abandoned quarries in the hills near my home. I couldn't say exactly what drove me to go all the way back there each time, perhaps it was just a way of distancing myself from what was happening. There was a calmness and a sense of stability in those places that somehow contrasted the uncertainty and emotional chaos of those months. Entering them and surrendering to their silence and shadows was like stepping into another world and leaving everything else behind, at least for a while.".

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. According to old pagan beliefs Il Malocchio or the evil eye is a curse causing bad luck and misfortune. In his debut book Il Malocchio Italian photographer Andrea Simonato depicts the quiet villages of his home region of Vicenza in the Northern Italy as upon this curse of unluckiness causing decay and abandonment. On his walks through sleeping villages and their empty buildings, dark woods and resting groves Simonato makes extraordinary findings in the seemingly common surroundings. The work echoes both longing and hope, creating a beautiful and poetic, yet mysterious ode to a place called home.When photographing I try to keep an open mind to whatever I come across. What I look for in a subject is to catch its enigmatic character, what it seems to be hiding rather than what it lets you see. Photographing in black and white helps me to abstract reality more easily by creating a sort of parallel world that is precisely that of the photographic narrative itself. Il Malocchio creates a conceptual frame for my work, as it is inherent for me to explore the mysterious side of things.

hardcover. Condition: Fine. 49 fotografie in bianco e nero di Andrea Simonato Sovraccoperta in acetato stampato. Cm 23x16. pp. 80. . Ottimo (Fine). . Prima edizione di 250 esemplari (First edition of 250 copies). . Andrea Simonato è un fotografo italiano che vive e lavora a Vicenza. La sua ricerca fotografica si concentra principalmente sugli aspetti più marginali del paesaggio antropico attraverso l'esplorazione costante degli ambienti più familiari, alla ricerca della novità nell'ordinario, dello strano nel consueto, della rivelazione che in qualche modo svela quella dimensione mitica che sembra nascosta in tutto ciò che ci circonda. "Il Malocchio", il suo primo libro, è stato pubblicato nel 2022 da Kult Books.Secondo le antiche credenze pagane, il malocchio è una maledizione che causa sfortuna e disgrazia. Nel suo libro d'esordio, Il Malocchio, il fotografo italiano Andrea Simonato ritrae i tranquilli villaggi nella sua regione natale, il Veneto, come se fossero colpiti da questa maledizione che causa decadimento e abbandono. Durante le sue passeggiate attraverso i villaggi addormentati, gli edifici vuoti e i boschi bui, Simonato fa delle scoperte straordinarie in un ambiente apparentemente comune. Il lavoro riecheggia sia la nostalgia che la speranza, creando un'ode bella e poetica, ma misteriosa, a un luogo chiamato casa."Quando fotografo cerco di avere la mente aperta a tutto ciò che incontro. Quello che cerco in un soggetto è di cogliere il suo carattere enigmatico, quello che sembra nascondere piuttosto che quello che lascia vedere. Fotografare in bianco e nero mi aiuta ad astrarre più facilmente la realtà, creando una sorta di mondo parallelo che è proprio quello della narrazione fotografica stessa. Il Malocchio crea una cornice concettuale per il mio lavoro, poiché è insita in me l'esplorazione del lato misterioso delle cose". Prima edizione di 250 esemplari (First edition of 250 copies).
