The two photos, taken in April 2007, represent some women collecting bivalve mollusks during low tide, in the Kingomani area, on the East Coast of Zanzibar. In 2009, the two photos were printed on canvas with high quality inks and framed inside the door of an old fishing boat’s cold room.
This work has been exhibited for the first time at the adAstra exhibition at Palazzo Stella, in Genoa, from 5th to 17th may 2023.
Accompanied by authenticity certificate of unique work, available for sale and exhibition.
It is the first work of the Exocalies Project.
The word Exocalia is derived from the Greek prefix éxō «outside», combined with the adjective kalòs «beautiful». It expresses the artistic attitude to make Beauty come out, and represents the power to bring Beauty within us.
The Exocalies are artworks composed of photographs inserted in ancient doors, old ladders, window frames or pieces of boats. These components are retrieved and regenerated by the hands of the author, and are an important part of the whole artwork, not delimiting it, but linking to other dimensions.
The Exocalies are clefts that break through walls, they are always open doors that nourish the soul. They are also complaints, "windows open to the world” that slam before our eyes, the beauty of Nature to be preserved.
The Exocalies represent a talented example of Circular Economy applied to Art. A synthesis between the philosophy of reuse and the evocative photographs of this great author.
Each work is authentic, unique and unrepeatable, certified as such. Far from the virtual world and NFT. Non Fungible Tokens are superfluous where the impossibility of replication is given by the very materiality of the works, which in this case are composed of author photographs inserted into unique pieces of recovered wood that have their own history.
Each Exocalia is in fact accompanied by a certificate of authenticity which formally certifies its evident material uniqueness.
