Fiftyfour photographs.<br \/>\nFor fiftyfour days I photographed silence and emptiness. Looking for some little subversion. I didn&#8217;t want to believe anything would change or happen. The small and haggard figures that materialized in the silence took on a necessary obviousness.<\/p>\n<p>It was a Wednesday on March 11th that we were ordered not to leave our house. So, I went up to the upper terrace, opened and put down the tripod and mounted the camera on it. On the display I chose the shot. I would have adapted the diaphragm to the light from time to time. I snapped. I marked on the floor where the three feet rested, where I would reposition the same easel the next day, and the next.<\/p>\n<p>For fiftyfour days, as long as the first lockdown: from 11th March to 4th May 2020. Always aiming the same frame with the lens. The same portion of the road.<\/p>\n<p>To break a prohibition that seemed anachronistic, I wanted to at least cast my gaze outside the house. Through the camera. And in the silence of waiting, expand the imagination as only with nothingness around is possible.<\/p>\n<p>To then see if something really wasn&#8217;t going to happen out there. If the void would remain empty. If silence would remain silent. Even if the body was forced to remain immobile where it was.<\/p>\n<p>Then even photography becomes immobile, filling in the pages of an ever-changing daily diary: the day before with the next. One photograph a day. With only the inscrutable alternation of daylight and night. The shadows like hourglasses to mark the slow passage of time.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;16px&#8221;][vc_btn title=&#8221;Back&#8221; color=&#8221;black&#8221; size=&#8221;sm&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fas fa-arrow-alt-circle-left&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.andreacalestani.it%2Fen%2Fworks%2Fpandemic-story%2F|title:Urban%20stories|&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_media_grid element_width=&#8221;2&#8243; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1715868538567-674c2541-db82-4&#8243; include=&#8221;3240,3242,3244,3246,3248,3250,3252,3254,3256,3258,3260,3262,3264,3266,3268,3270,3272,3274,3276,3278,3280,3282,3284,3286,3288,3290,3292,3294,3296,3298,3300,3302,3304,3306,3308,3310,3312,3314,3316,3318,3320,3322,3324,3326,3328,3330,3224,3226,3228,3230,3232,3234,3236,3238&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1715868627783{margin-right: 50px !important;}&#8221;]Fiftyfour days.
