Description:This project is the result of a three-year research on the territory of Milan, the city where Calabrese lives. There, he photographed a variety of realities that, on one hand, identify the city itself and on the other they define his experience of the place: from the outskirts to downtown, from the streets to the institutional venues, from the abandoned buildings to the construction sites of the new ones, up to the people he cares about.As a color-film photographer Calabrese adhered to the concept of authorship, approaching reality in a straight way. Intrigued by the potential of Google's Reverse Image Search, he got interested in whether and how the digital visual patrimony, boundless and democratic, could fit within a similar attitude. He uploaded his photographs so that each of them would generate dozens of images to be considered as visually similar, at least according to the algorithm's standards of similarity. Once collected – according to a random selection in terms of quantity and type – all sorts of images received from the web were stacked by Calabrese on top of the original photographs, hiding the originals within the new body of work. He then started printing the anonymous files on acetate sheets, keeping their original download size. The overlapping of multiple layers, backlit as some kind of multifaceted lightbox, separates the visually similar images from the original ones. Calabrese scanned each group of acetates into singular digital images, flattening and merging them into a new vision, so close to his own work, from which it was generated, yet still unfamiliar. The metamorphosis of his work and authorship was finally accomplished.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
