THE CRACKS WEEK: THE 4th IMAGE

Cracks is part of my Lacer/actions Project, about  the decomposition of torn publicity posters on outside advertisings (my realistic and not manipulated images are transferred on canvases, lithographic prints or textiles). Since 2009 I’ve been also workin’ on another matter. Not paper but metal and plastic surfaces, or metal and plastic platings. So, I entered the wonderful world of Cracks… We are surrounded by cracks. We live in a planet of cracks. My eyes and cameras discovered, in cracks magnifications, another astonishing textures in what we usually consider waste materials. Also my Cracks are realistic, natural, random and not enhanced images, as you se in this picture.

Roberto Alborghetti ‘s LaceR/Actions is a multidisciplinary project and research about the apparent chaos of ripped and decomposed posters and urban/street signs.

Transferred on canvas, reproduced on lithographic prints or textiles (as pure silk), re-built on collages or scanned in videoclips, the details of torn and decomposed publicity posters give new life to paper lacerations and matter decomposition, as you may see in this random picture, selected among the 40.000 ones captured by Roberto Alborghetti during his research all around the world.

The most recent Roberto Alborghetti Show (“Colors of an Apocalypse: An Intrigue for the Eyes and Mind from the Decomposed Publicity Posters”) was displaced for 100 days in the enchanting  Aldobrandesca Fortress (XIII Century) in Tuscany (Piancastagnaio, Siena, Italy) from October 6, 2012, to January 15, 2013.

THE HEALING POWER OF COLORS: DISABLED STUDENTS WORK ON ROBERTO ALBORGHETTI’S IMAGES

Posted by roberto alborghetti on

Guest writer: Patrizia Sapri

Last October I had the chance to visit, at the XIII Century Aldobrandesca Fortress (Tuscany, Italy) the extraordinary “Colors Of An Apocalypse /The decomposed Publicity Posters” exhibition showing Roberto Alborghetti ‘s stunning “Lacer/actions” artworks. I was very impressed by the show. I usually work in special schools on the theme of colors as recovery and strengthening of existing residuals basic skills. Colors, materials, movement and emotions: I found all this in Roberto Alborghetti works.

I asked him the consent and the permission to use some of his works in the educational and social activities I’m doing this year. And so we re-worked some of the visual and artistic pieces displayed at Roberto Alborghetti’s exhibition I appreciated so much last autumn. The project was led in the afternoon for a group of disabled students; some of them are living with Autistic Spectrum Disorders.

The colors of “Lacer/actions” works were reviewed through the eyes of my students who have manually performed their “Cre/actions” using various objects and materials. “The Atelier of colors and emotions” – this was the name of our experience – ended with great satisfaction of the students and their families. Music accompanied the lessons and students wrote words and comments about feelings, moods and sensations they felt while working on Roberto Alborghetti’s images. We achieved interesting results and a compelling visual and emotional impact (see the photogallery). Yes, a great experience!

I thank Roberto Alborghetti for his collaboration and sensitivity towards my “special students” and my social work. Parents, educational team and “Il Senso della Vita” Parental Association Onlus, with President doctor Marina Aimati, want to thank him heartily. We all wish to continue this wonderful experience working on Roberto Alborghetti images because they give lot of incentives to our activities and professions.

“A FRAGILE BEAM OF LIGHT IN THAT BLACK STORM” / ABSTRACT & FRANCESCO

Posted by roberto alborghetti on

Friend and fellow artist Mieke Goossens – she’s from Holland, she  lives in Rome and creates beautiful ceramics – launched me a sort of “provocation”. She invited me to create one of my “Lacer/actions” ( images of torn and decomposed publicity poster) about Francesco, the new Pope called to guide Catholic Church in these hard times, assuming (for the first time in the history) the same name of Francis of Assisi, the peace keeper, the man who loved all creatures, living contra-currents any time… I accepted the challenge, being conscious that abstract impressionism (or abstractionism) can surely suggest a concept and an idea. In my colletion I found a picture I took a few weeks ago:it seems to show  a white ribbon in a black storm… (it is an absolutely random and not manipulated image, as all my works).

I forwarded it in preview to Mieke, who commented with these  thoughts: ”It is such a fragile beam of light in that black storm/black infinite sky indeed… But it is a bit gnostic vision as well (and gnosticism is sometimes quite individual), although since it turns as a spiral there might be a sensation of interaction, participation… To me this beautiful image is ‘white love’, being-unity, fragility, Light, Insight, uniting, floating…Truly beautiful. Love your ideas and work!”

I’m glad to share this image through my blog (accepting comments…) I thank Mieke for her intriguing suggestion!

SIGNS OF A CITY / REMEMBERING PARIS THROUGH COLORS BLOTS (FROM TORN AND DECOMPOSED PUBLICITY POSTERS)

Posted by roberto alborghetti on

Fellow blogger Theadora Brack through her interesting blog People,Places and Bling kindly asked me about pics I shot in Paris a few years ago for my project “Lacer/actions” (Images of torn and decomposed publicity posters and urban tokens). I have just to say that also in Paris the traditional billboards have been replaced by electronic or plastic displays. It was not so easy to find them. But luck helps who dares… and who opens the doors of perception.

So, I had the way to capture some interesting images also in the French Capital. They were located in central areas, but not so visible to absent-minded passers-by. I took also some shots under the bridges, though the light conditions weren’t so good… In some tube stations I caught other images with nice shapes and colors blots: they seem to be a sort of elusive ghosts or mysterious tokens stolen from a beautiful city which wants to keep inside all its colored secrets… Et voilà mes images…
