“Natura Apparente” is based on the “Still Nature” iconography (Natura Morta), where a yellow mouse, a Hard Disk, a graphic and a mother board lay on the top of tilted rough surface. “Natura Apparente” employs and takes to the extreme traditional chiaroscuro shades, which are interrupted by digital touches of brushes and ghostly fabric; these brushes point out that there is another matter beyond the depicted one, another kind of real. The bunch of technological stuff is then just vehicle of different realities in the digital world. Brushes work like Lucio Fontana’s cuts applied to canvas. There is another real, a kind that makes the depicted one a labile ontological state.
