Dams
These images are part of a series dedicated to the dams in Friuli. After the work entitled Magredi in 2007, dedicated to the land used for military exercises, I wanted to think of another aspect, also by the strong historical and symbolic significance, present in the area where I live.
The dams, in fact, inevitably recall the memory of the tragedy Vajont in 1963.
These imposing structures located in a mountainous landscape mark the striking contrast between natural and artificial constructions of mans desire to challenge and dominate nature, the isolation and peace of sites opposed to the force of energy that produce artificial barriers and to which they are intended.
In these photos, a mist shrouded the subject marked by a cold colors, in a position suspended between fascination and mystery of apparent neglection.
