The light in Giampiero Assumma’s works, the “inextinguishable light”, is a key element, a guide into the microcosm of each city dweller, a mediator capable of transforming and revealing whatever it touches. Thanks to this light, the photographs come to life, and their dynamism unveils the depth and lyricism of the captured moment. Moscow, in different seasons, is not just a backdrop that sets the mood—it is an active participant in the narrative of its contemporary history.
In abstract motifs and fleeting reflections, we notice the artist’s desire to delve into the soul of the City, to establish a deeply personal, “sacred” connection with it.
The interaction of images and symbols from everyday city life shapes our consciousness, thereby predetermining our future reality.
