roberto ceccarelli - automatic levels adjustment - complete series
Photography
Paragliding World Championships in Poggio Bustone, Rieti (I), 2008
Original images shooted on slide film, then digitized with a (unclean!) scanner; after this the digital images are been subjected to a single action of "automatic levels adjustment" with a photo-editing software.
The software is left to work simply according to his own eyes, with the results of these images, totally aberrated and so ironically gross...! but evocative of some aesthetic values, very suggestive and de-contextualized in the time and in the space, they could stimulate some new thoughts about the relationship between the reality and the photography, and her tecnology and her subjects.....
Paradoxically, these images are less adulterated than all photos that we can see around the world today: in fact, they are the result of just-one a “click”: “automatic adjustment levels”.
Full project: 13 images - Size: 40 x 60 cm 300 ppi (4724x7087)
