Photographic exhibition by Claudio Amadei curated by Renato Corsini – Ma.co. F
Through the photographic language, the temporary exhibition within Photofestival 2022 reveals and enhances the surprising collection of butterflies of Museo di Scienze Naturali. A collection far from obvious: a fantastic world, both from the scientific and aesthetic point of view, that opens from the wings of these beautiful lepidopterans.
Claudio Amadei, expert sailor in the sea of photographic light, doesn’t limit himself to the precise representation of the specimens that Melania Massaro, curator of Zoology, has selected for the exhibition project. His images, in fact, are decomposition of the real, original interpretations of what nature offers.
The colors, funds and cuts of the photographs are the result of personal research and a creative reinterpretation enhanced by the large format of the prints on display.
Thematic exhibition project curated by Museo di Scienze Naturali
Farfalle is a polysemic exhibition project, called to build an intersection between photographic and scientific language. A meeting that combines aesthetic with conceptual elements. Butterflies and moths lead us to share with the public an important goal: expand and deepen the natural wonder towards the living beings who inhabit with us, and before us, the planet earth. The wide variety of sizes, designs and colours is an element of wonder; it is offered as an opportunity to understand some processes that generate complex microstructures and the diversity of species and between species: microscopic variations of infinite wonderful shapes. We invite visitors to stay with us, to sharpen the eye by observing details and relationships of these tiny animals: a layout that helps us to develop knowledge, sensitivity and responsibility. An important biological and ethical message.
