Elegia Fantastica

“When I picture my region, I simply look, I don’t think: I let my heart direct me and life unfold. This country awakens in me a deep emotion. There, time stops. I become a child again, everything amazes me. This is timeless Italy”, explains Emanuele Scorcelletti.

Emanuele Scorcelletti’s book thus presents a deep and meticulous photographic journey in black and white that touches on one of the most current reflections of contemporary man on the importance of places as fundamental elements to define his personal approach. of existence. The Marches are therefore the protagonists of research on the notion of place, studied in the relationships it establishes with the individuals who live there, who have lived there or who have forged strong ties with it.




As the title of the project suggests, the book is offered as a poetic composition which, as in the most refined elegies, is divided into two parts: that of memory and that of vision, the first melancholy and evocative, the second fiery and exalted. Classic images with balanced geometries characterize the first section of the book, while the shots in the second section are loaded with expressionistic and vibrant tones.

Le lien profond d'Emanuele Scorcelletti avec la région des Marches, en Italie, est le point de départ d'un projet artistique qu'il mène depuis plusieurs années et qu'il a intitulé Elegia Fantastica. Ce voyage introspectif dans les lieux du passé est porté par une démarche esthétique qui nous emporte du réel d'hier (Mémoires) à l'invisible d'aujourd'hui (Visions). Ce faisant, il transforme une expérience émotionnelle intime avec les lieux de son enfance et ses paysages intérieurs en une réflexion sur la mémoire collective et sur la transmission.
