Proiezioni
a project by Sebastiano Carsana - https://www.instagram.com/antimatiere77/
This work is intended as an interpretation of the world as the author sees it.
The images collected in it should be read as transpositions of being.
Everything stems from the impossibility to get one's bearingsand to recognize oneself, the photographs are an attempt to find one's own placein the world.
They are to be considered mirrorsin which the author, through the subjects portrayed,manifest himself to the world.
The impossibility of fully understanding my place and my purpose in this life is a condition that has gripped me since I can remember.
Who am I? What is my purpose? In what dimension do I exist as a living being?
I can only affirm with certainty the existence of my consciousness, and I see as a stranger everything around me, both on a material level and emotionally and spiritually speaking.
Who am I? What is my purpose? In what dimension do I exist as a living being?
I can only affirm with certainty the existence of my consciousness, and I see as a stranger everything around me, both on a material level and emotionally and spiritually speaking.
I feel as a stranger the world in which I find myself, and I cannot create tangible links with
the outside world. I can only find myself in my thoughts, which form the only space where I move, live and act consciously. The rest, the surrounding, the whole universe is like a single non-
objective representation created by my consciousness. From this condition of extraneousness to myself arises a big conflict that affects all my living and consequently also my research.
The photographs in this project are an attempt to project these feelings of mine onto the world, and therefore into a universe made up of images. The photographic medium is important to me, because it is the one I have chosen to represent my condition. The photographs can be compared to mirrors that reflect everything that moves in my mind.
In these images the subject has lost its logical and chosen function, moving to a new level of meaning. Paradoxically, I have tried to exploit the environment, the outside, what I involuntarily disregard to reveal and make visible what I feel and live. The world tries to regain sense and with the support of the photographic medium finds a concrete and visible demonstration as I see it.
In these photographs a process of alienation of my person occurs, I remove myself from my usual context and place myself in a new light, using the subjects portrayed as reincarnation of me. In the act of taking a photograph, death and rebirth are combined.
This is a necessary step in trying to find meaning to my being.
Proiezioni is my thesis project, developed through 2020 and recently became a book.
