The work captures the moment when paths are about to diverge. The worlds of two people, or perhaps the inner worlds of one person. It also depicts the coexistence of these worlds.
The panel is part of the "Another Perspective" project, a series of images of traffic lights reflecting our feelings. It was presented during Turin Art Week at Paratissima 2022. The complete visual project consists of 11 photographs, one triptych and one installation.
Daily busy performing acts, crossing cities, moving toward inexistent destinations, and then returning to the starting point and beginning again: this is how the stylized traffic light men, from their high vantage point, would read each person’s life.
Unable to figure out the reasons for a sometimes hurried and sometimes slow pace. They would assign the green color to pleasant actions shared by the rest of the community, and red to vices and taboos.
While yellow, often the most underestimated signal, represents choice, free will, and change.
In a play between real and imaginary, I stage daily routines with common objects that, in their impartiality, highlight contemporary merits and flaws.
