Scope and Content

The project series documents a series of photographs entitled "Testimonianze D'Architettura" presented at the exhibition "VENEREZIA" in Venice in 1978. The photographs consist of toned and overexposed color prints of the walls of a stone quarry. The photographs are "assembled in succession, as if in a slow pan, to suggest the slow rhythm of observation and lead to the discovery of other worlds [...] arising out of the examination of the strata in a fault." [1]

The project series contains eight overexposed photographs of the quarry walls.
