The origins of life are shrouded in myth, while modern man
forgoes the sense of time, of nature and of history in the
unrelenting and time lasting progression of the desert,
mostly and mainly the interior one, dissipating supreme
values and loosing the image of nature itself.
The annihilation of the invisible and sacred has reached
the visible too, followed by the sunset of nature’s manifestation.
Due to the absence of the human figure, as a time and
space descriptive element, these photographs represent a
fragment of something bigger: the pix of nature, which
becomes a temple.
However the spontaneous act of giving importance to the
narrative void, revealing the assets of present condition,
is aimed to a time travel backwards up to the essence and
record an apparently anonymous and banal heritage predicting
one of the biggest problems of the future, therefore building
a sort of encyclopedia of what actually is the status of main
water resources on our planet today.
Hosted in the Medieval Castle, home of the Museum of Italian Art 1985-2010, Sources of Bepi Ghiotti is an open project born in 2007 as a reflection on the necessity of a greater awareness on the importance of water on Earth.
Intertwining technique and contents, the series of ten large photographic pieces unveils the essential, the origin, the source: the point, unique, from which everything is originated.
