The vacuum is not necessarily the absence, lack, expectation rejected, but rather latent space, entità a sé stante, fertile ground for artistic operations. […]
The vacuum plays a significant meaning for Aqua Aura, author of the Void (2013-2014), premiered at the Gallery Kajaste of Oulu, in the heart of Finland. As low Esposti dal 2010 in the context of personal and collective exhibitions, his works are the fruit of a decade of research and exploration, from a professional approach to travel reportage. From those photographs are born, almost unconsciously, the first Frozen Frames: duplication and fusion of images. The center of gravity is getting married to oneiric landscapes, while the mendacity of the scene, at first plausible, becomes evident through the introduction of foreign bodies avowedly. Maximum limit that pushes the artist to totally rethink the role of the landscape in the economy of his work. From cycle Void, in fact, the environment is no longer the protagonist, but secondary element, added to the compositions silent, almost mystical, dominated by the geometry. […]
Collector of images, Aqua Aura is not a photographer in the traditional sense of the term, rather an alchemist, that merges several shots autographs in a new frame.
