  • Pietro Motisi | Cemento

    Pietro Motisi | Cemento

    Cemento is a photographic project realized with the intention to build a map; it is a work about Sicily made as a path of sensations and perceptions with an eye on the relation between the space and the identity of its inhabitants.

    The assumption of this project is to create, quoting the Italian photographer Luigi Ghirri, a ‘zig-zag’ path in which nothing has to be precluded and in which the photographer has to follow his perceptions. That has to be made in order to find/create a track to follow inside a given space, no matter if it is physical or conceptual, and from that track let emerge some of the peculiar characteristics of the secular relationship that links humans to this territory.

    The Ebb Tide

    “They are old ships behind the floodgates,
    Lurking in the silt and mire;
    Rust on their anchor, mud on their bows,
    Their decks unpainted and their sails in rags:
    They lean to one side as though arthritis
    Had claimed their limbs, paralysed now
    They’ve forgotten the sea except when the flood-gate
    Lets a hint of the tide reach them. […]”

  • Pietro Motisi | Manca Anima

    Pietro Motisi | Manca Anima

    Non avrei voluto essere d’altro che specchio
    e di sponda restituire in superficie
    tutto il fondo incolorire della luce
    a chi su di me come da solo
    rideva un proprio volto sconosciuto.
    E invece ne trattengo dietro una macchia un colore
    e a rispondere poi qualcosa di nuovo:
    sono ancora incapace.

    I wished I was made of nothing else than mirror glass
    giving back off the cushion on the surface
    all the deep encoloring of light
    to the one smiling toward me as if alone
    an unknown face of his own.
    Instead I hold back a spot a colour
    and to answer something new:
    I am still unable.
