Incompiuto
Incompiuto
Incompiuto or the phenomenon of the unfinished. Empty forms, suspended in
space and time, punctuate the Italian landscape with question marks. This
There are more than 1000 infrastructure projects that are abandoned in progress or in
end of construction, never put into operation, due to poor workmanship, assembly
obscure financial matters, bureaucratic red tape or operating costs
high. The hill with windowless villas near Palermo, the highway
Piedmontese that falls into a field, the ghost complex of La Maddalena that
will never host the G8... Ambitious works, left as they are,
drawing the contours of an invisible country.
The work brings together more than fifty unfinished photographs by Roberto Giangrande, under a white light, without human presence, tinged with a faded veil. His images transport us into a recurrence of the absurd where the memory of places is not share more. It turns out to be impossible to build memories with the unfinished works caught between a goalless past and an indefinitely deferred future. The book-object itself, with its Kraft cover and its dust jacket inspired by of the marking net which demarcates the construction sites, poses the question of their future: completion, demolition, reuse?
Incompiuto is charged with indignation in the face of these "endless concrete flows" useless to the community, useful to those who have benefited from them [...] crimes against the community, against the common good" (extract from the text of Roberto Ferrucci).
