photography exhibition
1 – 16 September 2005, Mincu House, headquarters of the Romanian Order of Architects, Bucharest
Its photos, apparently colages or easily digitally completed special effects, are made with a 35 mm single-use camera, chap, easile changed, so that a a set of images, usually three, can be mixed up. By disconnecting the automatic mechanism adjusting the diaphragm and the movement of the film, Ferrary controls manually the exposure time and may connect between them the different perspectives, covering the already exposed film surface.
Diego Ferrari’s photos first explore the way in which invest the space, living in it. From early devices to most recent photographs, he focused on the subtle changes of meaning given by the change of light, the multiple perspectives focused in a frame, the mix between visible interiors and the invisible ones, and the exageration of details of architectural and human shapes. For him, the space is never a neutral scene on which humans carry out their activities. He sees it rather as an active force to change and which is changed by our actions.
