Seem dischiuso

Nicola Bertoglio's "Seme dischiuso" presents a captivating artistic exploration of man's incompleteness. Each photograph features a man in a different pose, providing a distinct visual composition for each image. In the first photograph, the man is shown from behind, his silhouette half blending into the frame, placed at the edge of the format. In the second photograph, the man leans forward, bending his waist, thus creating continuity between the two images. The photographs are fixed on wood, aligned side by side horizontally, establishing a link between them. This arrangement creates a distorted shape where the original shape becomes invisible, giving rise to a new shape. This characteristic is emblematic of Nicola's work, who likes to play with the viewer's perceptions and expectations.
On a minimalist beige background, the photographs acquire a subtle presence, emphasizing the human figure and its incompleteness. The use of neutral colors and the simplicity of the background allows the viewer to fully focus on the man's expression and posture.
