From Claire-Lyse Bucci (Catalogue)

"Nothing is inviolate, nothing is withheld from being divulged." In the age of the sensationalist news and media, the age of the reality show, areas of shadows and ambiguity are increasingly rare.

Confronting the profusion of images, constantly revealing more and more, delving further into the private scene, we are brought towards a desperate desire to go through the image, to go beyond the image seeks to carry the gaze of those who make it and see it towards another gaze that is beyond all image - to shake it off.

And even if Art stil belongs to the realm of the image, its image seeks to carry the gaze of those who make it and see it towards another gaze that is beyond all images.

INTIMACY is a way of stressing the act of vision, the vision one has through the viewfinder of a photographic or video camera. Tight framing is not narrowness but, on the contrary, acuteness of vision. A tight shot, directing attention to the detail in the view creates a relationship between that detail and its priphery thus intimating the whole.

INTIMACY as a zone of recuperation: an aesthetic of the here and the now, embracing all differences… Fragmentary narratives. As many beginnings as there are fragments. These Fragments are never developed or explained. They remain in suspence and are like so many questions interrogating our reception of the world.

The possibility of enigma is the appearance of the individual, of a plural reading. Enigma is also the metaphor of the reading of the work.
The work of fragment.
