ARTIFACTS ARTLOVERS - The intimate moment of approaching and exploring art
Never before has there been so much hype about creativity and art.
Fairs and exhibitions with big names attract masses of visitors and every year, new reports about record sales are making their rounds.
For a few good business, for others a welcome change, art is for many an important life content. Art fascinates, moves and inspires, can ask important questions and outline answers.
Romano P. Riedo has been dealing with the subject for a long time.
Not just as a journalist and an exhibition curator himself, but also in different ways photographically.
The present artwork is part of a series and the result of more than six years work.
First published in 2019 as a limited edition portfolio (100/100) part of this work has been shown in a gallery exhibition during fall 2019.
In order to approach the subject in a contemporary way, questioning the process of artistic creation itself, the photographer used a small digital point-and-shoot camera and its „artistic“ filter-effects to alienate the images instantly at the time of recording and to translate them into a kind of cipher / metaphor.
Can digital algorithms create / generate art? In this work, the photographic artifacts reflect reality in a new way and are at the same time an artificial presence.
