Roberta Foglino  – 2011

On the occasion of the photographic research entitled UNDER-WORLD (2011-2012), Piero Leonardi climbs down to the very depth of the underground, chiselling live recording a plastic writing that turns the rock anatomy upside-down: slidings, weavings and tangles, light and matter strokes do take up meanings “beyond”. Or, still, the artist catches the impalpable relationship light-form by means of sudden, fleeting plays un-veiling further meanings.
His pictures reveal metamorphic shapes the very moment of the snapshot and assume a very suggestive, surreal value: light traces suddenly break the shadow and do carry Leonardi to yea Id to dreamy fantasy,
