DAS DING by EMMA VITTI
The sensitive imagery of Emma Vitti
I met Emma Vitti at an exhibition opening and immediately felt that vibrant creative energy that only “real” artists convey. Visiting her studio afterwards, the sensation increased even more. One senses the incessant quest to discover oneself within, the fear that follows from exposing oneself, accompanied by the inescapable need to express one's “sensitive imagination.”
Looking at his works one is drawn into the thoughts behind their conception and even more into the thoughts that were at the origin of the photographed objects. An image of creation in short, of the primal idea, which every man possesses and which every artist sometimes manages to convey.

I use the camera to show what cannot be seen. What I myself did not see, at the time of the shooting
I am talking about the visual metaphor, the evocative power of the image that shows and at the same time confuses.

I am talking about the visual metaphor, the evocative power of the image that shows and at the same time confuses.
I am interested in the possibility of surprising myself, of wading through my photographs without recognizing what I had taken, framing a portion of reality.
It fascinates me to get carried away by chance and to look with a good or bad eye, depending on my moods, at innocent fragments of things, objects in space, certain that I can unleash their ambiguous identity, in a continuous cross-reference of different meanings.

This is what Emma Vitti's works are, works of art that use photography as an expressive medium, but which, in each case, “convey” something. And that is what I always look for in artists' works, what Almach Art Gallery wants to spread.
