description
Walking in the desert is getting lost, losing references and certainties to find other ones. Stefano Parrini’ for 15 years depicted rarefied landscapes, naked and distant. A “hunt for silence,” every rock, cave, mound, and pebble looks alien. Only stones and no color. Part of another way of feeling and being. When you stop asking, your gaze crumbles against horizons of elemental forms. And it is like revealing the eyes, rediscovering a primitive sight. The look before the look. Without interfering codes. In this collection of hierophanies, there is a manifestation of the sacred. Parrini once again moves along the path of mystery using photography, as Benjamin wrote, as an entrance threshold for the optical unconscious. It is only by resorting to the grammar of the depth that we can grasp its archetypal meaning. Thus, images that do not describe reality are no longer speakable except as a whole, as an experience of totality.
