Le città invisibili sono opere pittoriche realizzate in camera oscura attraverso emulsioni chimiche e incisioni su poliesteri. Il progetto è incentrato sulla complessità e disordine della realtà narrati ne Le città invisibili di Italo Calvino, i cui racconti di luoghi immaginari e paradigmatici si intersecano e si proiettano nella società contemporanea, dove tutto sembra apparentemente “levigato”, ma che in realtà, questa levigatezza, spesso cela una spaventosa decadenza sociale. Ma queste "città invisibili" come spiega Italo Calvino, "sono anche un'indagine alle ragioni segrete che portano gli uomini a vivere certi luoghi, al di là di tutte le crisi. Le città sono un insieme di tante cose: memoria, desideri, segni di un linguaggio; luoghi di scambio, non soltanto di merci, ma anche di parole, desideri e ricordi”.
Le città invisibili comprises paintings created in the darkroom through chemical emulsions and incisions on polyester. The project focuses on the complexity and disorder of reality as narrated in Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities, whose accounts of imaginary and paradigmatic places intersect with and project themselves onto contemporary society, where everything appears superficially “smooth”, yet this very smoothness often conceals a disturbing social decay. As Italo Calvino explains, these “invisible cities” are also “an inquiry into the secret reasons that lead people to live in certain places, beyond all crises. Cities are an aggregate of many things: memory, desires, signs of a language; places of exchange, not only of goods, but also of words, desires, and memories.”
