Fabrizio Cirfiera
Biography
The study of Photography begins with the observation of the shots of masters such as Newton, Sieff, Adams, Avedon.
After years of academic studies, the passion becomes work in the advertising field, trying to give back to each object (product) photographed, an artistic soul.
There have been several publications in the most famous magazines in the design and tourism furniture sector, such as Elle Decor, Interni, Forbes.
Slowly, the videographic path approaches photography, studying the history of cinema, making short films and commercials. In fact, he deepens his post-graduate studies, with a Masters in Film Production as Director of Photography.
Parallel to the advertising sector, the passion for artistic photography is always alive, allowing him to experiment and develop new projects.
One of his latest projects is: “MO (NU) MENTS”, which sees him engaged in nocturnal photodynamic shots of monuments in Italy, France and America.
He photographs them in an atypical way, drawing inspiration from the artistic current of “futurist photodynamism” founded in the first decade of the 20th century. His dynamic photos are not “moved”, but “animated”, with the aim of rendering and making people perceive the trajectory of the gesture. Here are some words to describe this art project called: “MO (NU) MENTI.” Movement is what we look for every day. These shots are the epicenter of the frenzy, of the Chaos. Monuments that we are usually used to seeing through postcards, static, now for Cirfiera they are split, blurred, blurred. Indeterminate.What in the common imagination must be memorized is stopped at a very precise moment. Crystallizing it.
His shots, on the other hand, want to reveal the fleetingness of an instant, in which nothing can be stopped, trapped, but only remembered. Time, as a measure, as a notion that organizes the mobile continuity of states, decays.
One perceives the fluidity of these MO (NU) MENTI, which slowly change, and which we all remember as immobile objects.
The photographs are also reproduced on plates of brass, copper, aluminum, noble materials which, however, change over time as well as the monuments photographed. They become unique works, since it applies a chemical process of deterioration on the raw material that receives the artistic print, until the same decides to block it and print his shots on the material chromatically similar to the photographic shot.
His projects, like his works, are in continuous “movement“.
