Gathering the traces, collecting visual stumbling blocks and restoring them by subtracting them from their recognizable form is the process that underlies Giuseppe Vitale's modus operandi. In the transition from micro to macro, mostly indecipherable details suggest ambiguous images, hovering between artifacts of an undefined past and futuristic hints at a time yet to be written. This state of suspension describes a space-time dimension with a muffled atmosphere, a limbo that is also

a refuge, a hypothetical maternal womb where to escape reality and anxiety. What the lens captures is a possible parallel world made up of objects, organisms and reassuring atmospheres in which to rediscover the memory of a loved one, unexpected, elusive, which goes beyond the physical and visible form to become multisensory perception, a metaphysical space, a place where find your breath.
