Silvia Casilli - SACRED IN PROFANE
Photography
A series of digital shots taken in the city of Brescia (Italy).
The spiritual dimension of the place emerges from concrete walls, from hidden and waste places.
The city around is envelopped in the traffic and everyday sound and movement. People go on in this dimension trying to sustain the problems of this difficult period. They go to and fro, and they don't know how to solve their enourmous problems of survival, they go to and fro, fearing to stop and see that there is not a way out.
But for those who don't fear the silence here it is, the matter itself - the ruined matter that accepted to go through the changement of time - in which is preserved a humble celebration of the value of life and of the beauty of what the man is able to create.
