Marco Tagliafico
ATTRAVERSARE L’ORIZZONTE

Description

A fundamental trait in Marco Tagliafico’s poetics is the continual search for a horizon, an impossible gaze towards something that continually recedes and by its nature it is elusive.
“The search for the horizon corresponds to the search for meaning, the reason why we are in the world and our incessant unsuccessful and approximate attempt to represent it”. This is how the artist defines the theme of his most recent works, in which there is a continuous alternation between the disappearing image and the imperfect attempt to recover the image itself.
Tagliafico’s research is a mix of photography and painting.
By combining these two techniques, the processed images allow the artist to highlight the moment at which the alteration process must end. The viewer of his works is caught up in the eternal search for balance between what can be seen and what lies beyond a hypothetical horizon.
