SPEED _ M - Three artists follow one another at speed
Exhibition: 13 May – 22 May 2010
SPEED_M is a series of exhibitions dedicated to Italian photographers, following one another in rapid succession within the spaces of METRONOM. In solo shows Bruno Cattani, Michele Buda and Enrico Moretti will be presenting a thematic selection of works. The exhibitions aim to be contemporary proposals for looking at photography through themes, techniques and subjectivity. 9909 is a symbolic number that covers the time span of Michele Buda's photographic research. For the occasion of SPEED_M he offers a selection of these images, presenting a significant corpus of his artistic experimentation. Buda's work may be defined as landscape photography, although it would be reductive to enclose it within that sphere. His landscapes are architectonic monuments, uninhabited urban views, they are walls drawn with a geometric stroke, sometimes they are simply volumes that fill up space through plays of light. The thread running through his shots, whose subjects are only apparently ordinary, is an inquiry into vision. The windows of a building that become mosaic tesserae, a wild climbing plant growing out of the concrete, or the scarcely decipherable letters and numbers with blurred outlines: each image is the fruit of a masterful play of light, of cuts and the search for symmetries, for details that redesign space.
