“Geometria dell’Incanto: frammenti di bellezza italiana” (Geometry of Enchantment: Fragments of Italian Beauty”) is a journey through 43 photographs by Valerio Corzani. This photographic exploration follows a poetic, almost instinctive investigation of the hidden geometries that shape the landscapes, objects and architecture that surround us. Through photographs taken throughout Italy, Corzani captures an unexpected harmony of shapes, such as asymmetries, lines, curves and fragments that transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Whether it is the reflection of the sun in a Calabrian light bulb or the architectural poetry of a fishing net, it is a celebration of shape as emotion, a tribute to the silent dialogue between nature, design and human presence, even when people are not visible.
Whoever ventures into a photographic reportage in Italy, even those who – like Valerio Corzani – decide to do so following a thread as bizarre and yet so precise as the one that has to do with what Gio Ponti defined as “the mathematical beauty of things”, has thousands and thousands of possibilities, thousands and thousands of options to explore and express.
This exhibition, organized by the Italian Cultural Institute of Jakarta and open until 15 May, offers a profound sense of place, identity and aesthetic resonance, with musical pieces that accompany each photograph, prolonging the vision in a multisensory experience.
