Il conticello
In Basilicata superstition has ruled for centuries and perhaps still does. This is a living land of traditions, magicians, witches and alchemists and the majority of the population continues to feel alive this sense of belonging.
The story I wanted to impress, inspired by the stories I was told, some
happened and others not, rich in characters and magical elements, superstition and beliefs they interact with each other, to simulate the character behaviours of the past and today.
The experimental methodology I used was unpredictable and completely improvised.
I didn’t find much about these two techniques mixed so I decided to call it Prototypegram.
I used two techniques the chemigram and the monotype:
the chemigram because I spread on photographic paper the organic development and the various resistances that allowed me to create frames, textures, colours and shapes; and the monotype because these photographs can never be printed twice by the same negative.
