JARDIN MEMORIES OF A TUSCAN GARDEN OPENING

THU OCT 17

FROM 6PM

“To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.”

William Blake

Human-beings are creators of gardens in the same way that they are storytellers.

Dal francese jardin = un pezzo di terra su cui vengono coltivati ​​fiori, ortaggi ecc.

A garden is an enclosed place. A garden needs a frame if it is to be called a garden. The garden is the moment when a space becomes a landscape.

The garden is the germ of a settlement: the village, the town, the city and the nation.

Gli esseri umani sono creatori di giardini: un giardino è un luogo chiuso, circoscritto, ed ha bisogno di una cornice per essere chiamato giardino.

The garden, we might be inclined to say, is neither completely natural nor fully human. It is an ancient longing, a feeling we search for within ourselves and seek in the physical world.

Il giardino è però anche il momento in cui uno spazio diventa un paesaggio. Il giardino è il germe di un insediamento: il villaggio, la città, la città e la nazione. Non è né completamente naturale, né completamente umano. È un desiderio antico, un sentimento che cerchiamo in noi stessi e cerchiamo di ritrovare, riconquistare, ridisegnare nel mondo fisico.

The students of Advanced Digital Photography class have collected moments that are always suspended but never decisive, as though tiny doors have opened onto eternity. They built their own gardens in order to give real substance, whether passing or enduring, to a lost world within themselves that fills the mind with longing.

Gli studenti del corso di fotografia digitale avanzata hanno raccolto momenti che sono sempre sospesi ma mai decisivi, come se piccole porte si aprissero sull’eternità. Costruirono i loro giardini per dare sostanza reale, sia che passassero o durassero, a un mondo perduto dentro di loro che riempie la mente di desiderio.

These photographs embody the delicate tensions that occur in space and time; depict the space between two hands; a ray of light on a twisted branch; a twig caught in a wire fence; or the softest and most simple melody of home that welcomes us.

Le foto proposte al Corridoio incarnano le delicate tensioni che si verificano nello spazio e nel tempo, raffigurano lo spazio tra due mani, un raggio di luce su un ramo contorto, un ramoscello catturato in un recinto di filo metallico… o la melodia più morbida e semplice di casa, che ci accoglie con affetto...
