Fish of Pesaro, Shipwreck inaugurated the exhibition by John Ozzola in collaboration with Galleria Continua.
"shipwreck is involuntarily stop to the place fixed, a rebirth, a final moment," says the artist, he has made for the space of Fish an exhibition inspired by the idea of \u200b\u200bthe sinking in an area such as the indefinite sea \u200b\u200band the concept of the passage of time.
The exhibition starts with a work that suggests a reflection on the past, the wreck of an old boat fishing lit from within by neon Tomorrow and Yesterday, which cast shadows on the hull planks torn walls of the former Church of Suffrage.
the center of the space is set up a triptych of photographs that represent the large water surface animated by the glare of a few drops of rain. Images showing the memory at a time and suspended indefinitely, caught by the artist in an absolute size and almost metaphysical.
In the room behind the video is projected Garage, Sometimes you can see much more, a gate that raises and lowers the sea, painted in homage to the Room by the Sea by Edward Hopper. "The openings are a future to strive for, the thresholds where you can hear a positive unknown. - The artist explains - The noise of the mechanical movement of the damper is in stride with the opening of the horizon of the sea, thus becoming the diaphragm between two dimensions. "
The exhibition catalog, published by Silvana Editoriale, contains an essay by Ludovico Pratesi, an interview with the artist and reproductions of works in the exhibition.
