    Giorgio Pasotti – Racconti disumani@Teatro Marrucino

    February 28, 2022 /

    The stage is almost bare, yet dense with implication. A man in a deep red suit leans forward over a small stepped platform, his body angled as if straining toward something invisible. The light catches the side of his face, leaving the rest of the space in heavy shadow. To his right, suspended in the darkness, an image of a bottle looms, projected larger than life—its glass skin ghostly, its presence more oppressive than inanimate. This is Kafka territory. The stripped set, the exaggerated scale, the isolation of the figure—they all speak the language of unease. The microphone at centre stage stands unused, a silent witness, or perhaps a channel…

    The focus is tight on the pianist, capturing her in a moment of intense concentration. The lighting isolates her from the dark background, drawing attention to the subtle interplay of highlights on her hair and face. Her gaze is fixed on the piano keys or the score just beyond the frame, suggesting a deep immersion in the performance. The expression is serious and focused, conveying the discipline and precision required in classical music. The angle of the shot partially reveals the polished surface of the piano, which reflects warm tones from the stage lighting. This reflection adds depth to the composition, while the instrument’s structure forms a diagonal that guides…

    She Died Alone

    February 15, 2022 /

    She was a drug addict —a “junk” some righteous zealot would have called her— and died in the indifference of everybody but one. A flower and a rainbow unicorn are what keep her memory alive. The memory of a human being left alone also in her final moment.

    Still Ruling The Empire

    February 5, 2022 /

    The statue in this image has its back turned to the camera, but it commands the frame entirely. Shot in Rome, with the dome of Santi Luca e Martina on the left and the Torre delle Milizie rising in the distance, this bronze figure—likely an emperor or general—stands as if still governing the landscape before him. I didn’t photograph the face on purpose. The power of this moment lies in presence, not identity. The shot is about line, volume, and the compression of history into layers. The trunk of the umbrella pine rises behind him like a sceptre made of wood and air, while the palatial facades blend architectural periods…

    Get Ready, Set, Go

    February 2, 2022 /

    I’ve always enjoyed the way a single moment in the street can hold multiple narratives at once. In this frame, taken in Piazza Venezia with the Vittoriano looming behind, the cyclist seems caught between pause and motion — a split-second where the decision to push forward hasn’t yet been made. The backlighting was a gamble. Shooting into the sun with the Fuji X-T3 and the XF 16-80 meant dealing with inevitable flare, lowered contrast, and the risk of losing detail in the shadows. But I wanted that shaft of light breaking through, almost theatrical in how it picks out the rider against the cobblestones. Exposure was a compromise: holding the…
