AN ATLAS OF IMAGINATION






AN ATLAS OF IMAGINATION | Exhibition
Luca Galofaro
25.02 - 31.03.2016​


​​



Montage is the art that is capable of making the image dialectic.​
Assembling images as I do in my work does not mean assimilating them to fit them into a logical narrative plot, but juxtaposing single fragments, conserving their multiplicity, partiality and impurities to make their combination or repetition generate an interference with or a reaction to my imagination, opening up new possible relationships and knowledge. The images are not sufficient on their own, they are always juxtaposed or, more precisely,​​ collided with short phrases taken from the books of the time, words to read in order to​ amplify the effect of the image, not to assert a truth but to trigger a visual moment of​​ awareness. It is only through this dialectic restitution that the image can take on a new​​ legibility.
The image become the center of a thought about time.​​ In a certain sense it is the attempt to construct an atlas of one’s own imagination, whose reference point is Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas, but with the difference that the images juxtaposed in this Atlas have first been manipulated and personalized through an operation of assimilation.

Le montage et l’art apte à rendre l’image dialectique.​
Assembler les images tel que je le fais dans mon travail ne signifie pas les assimiler à une logique narrative. mais la juxtaposition de fragments simples, conserver leur multiplicité, la partialité et leurs impuretés faisant de leur combinaison (combinatoire) ou répétition, génèrent une interférence ou une réaction de la part de mon imagination, ouvrant ainsi de nouvelles relations et connaissances possibles.
Les images ne se suffisent pas à elles-mêmes, elles sont toujours juxtaposées ou, plus précisément mises en collision avec des phrases courtes issues des livres de leur époque, des mots lus pour amplifier l’effet de l’image, non pas pour asséner une vérité mais pour provoquer une prise de conscience. Ce n’est que par la restitution dialectique que l’image prend une nouvelle légitimité.
L’image devient le centre d’une pensée à propos du temps. En un certain sens, c’est la tentative de construire un atlas de l’imaginaire individuel, dont la référence principale est L’Atlas Mnemosyne de Warburg, à la différence que les images juxtaposées dans cet Atlas ont d’abord été manipulées et personnalisées par une opération d’assimilation.

POSTCARDS # 10



I belive that: the intrusion of an era into another can reduce the distance between different objects and spaces, fragments and images codified acquire new meanings.





POSTCARDS # 47






Il montaggio viene utilizzato per creare pause o fissare immagini l'una contro l'altra, questo procedere comporta il rischio di causare delle lacune nella percezione.





Cattedrali - 2016

POSTCARDS # 44




The encounter with one image after another would, that is, demand an attention to a kind of temporal unfolding that was like that of hearing or reading a sentence.
