Ua photographic exhibition that aims to transform the mountain landscape into an experience of culture and sustainability. “White Entropy”personal photographer and digital artist Jacopo Di Cera curated by Massimo Ciampa, is installed at PhotoSquare of Milan Malpensa. A journey of large format zenithal photographs, taken between Alpe di Siusi, Mont Blanc, Val di Fassa, Val Badia, Roccaraso, Cortina d’Ampezzo and Madonna di Campiglio, to also reflect on the relationship that man establishes with the mountain environment.
«A mountain – the photographer explained to us – which in this exhibition is seen in four phases, in four moments. A moment, so to speak, of solitude, without human intervention; a moment in which man begins to intervene, therefore he begins to have a relationship within these places. Then a phase in which unfortunately the human intervention is enormous, great, intense, and here we touch on issues such as theovertourism. Finally, a fourth and final phase which is the moment of night, where everything dissolves a bit and what emerges are these signs, these glimpses which are somewhat of the symbolic elements of this fragile, delicate relationship that man has established with the mountain”.
In addition to the large images there is also a surface of delicate photographic paper that lies on the ground, where a view of the glacier from above is printed. Mont Blanc massif. You walk on this installation and every step leaves a mark, a laceration. Every trace affects, consumes, deteriorates, exactly like glaciers, which under the weight of man become thinner, retreat, change forever, and today are progressively disappearing. The Malpensa exhibition also wants to talk about this too, indeed, probably above all this.
