"Presa di Coscienza Sulla Natura" series, 1954 - 2000 unique vintage gelatin silver print |
Giacomelli had taken the pictures of this series on the Marche, his native Italian region, for a long period and it is impossible to date precisely each shot. Most of the art critics put that series in relation with the Land Art of the Seventies, where the artist used to make sculptural interventions on the real. Like in that case Giacomelli made "corrections" to what he saw, adding lines, holes and other signs the farmers didn't dig. |

“Ninna Nanna” series, 1985 - 1987 unique vintage gelatin silver print 40x60 cm |
Giacomelli took inspiration for this series from a poem, where the old Ninna tells to Nanna: “Please shut up”. It is the passing by of the time that consumes everything. Giacomelli had taken the pictures of this series on the retired home of Senigallia for a long period and it is impossible to date precisely each shot, but more then never we can appreciate differences and unique of each shot. |

"Io non ho mani che mi accarezziono il volto" series (I have no hands caressing my face), 1961 - 1963 unique vintage gelatin silver print |
Giacomelli took inspiration for this series from the poem " I have no hands" by Father David Maria Turoldo. The poem talks of solitude and to loneliness will be devoted the young people portaited who chose religious life. But the images are fresh and full of enjoyment and happiness. The images of the series, previously known as "Seminaristi" or "Pretini" where shot in the seminar of Sinigallia, Italy. The sensation of movement is accentuated by the low speed and by the contrast between the black uniforms and the snow ( after a year that the artist spent inside the seminar). Manual printing amplified the situation, leaving the black uniforms floating in a white light. The characters are suspended in the hair. They are simply light and young. |
