​
"SUDARI"
Luigi Grassi's photographs belong to the sphere of the urban landscape, necessarily anthropized, in which it is the attention dedicated to their vision that makes the experience derived from the image a source of daily beauty. Luigi Grassi archives in his shots a reality that becomes a spectacle, a contemporary theatrical scenography. The photographer chooses from time to time to open or close the curtain, concealing or revealing the scene in progress.
The vision in Luigi Grassi's images originates from exposure and unveiling, understood as the free emancipation of truth. The idea of ​​the veiled body has the dual ability to disturb and reassure, to hide or to show more than thinkable. The concept of the veil crosses the history of cultures, from East to West, each time defining its ideological limits or its poetic potential.
Through a study on the city, Luigi Grassi transposes the theme of the veil, nudity and the historical sense of these assumptions to everyday urban elements, which almost always go unnoticed, losing the richness of possible meanings due to inattention.
