TraVellArT is a project conceived for the spaces of the historic Hotel Savoia & Jolanda in Venice and includes a series of exhibitions inspired by the theme of travel.

Miriam Nicastro (Enna Italy, 1966) travels continuously searching for images, looking at the world through her Reflex. Alchimia is a journey through the cities loved by Miriam, a selection of strictly black and white travel photos capturing glimpses, details and architectural visions. The use of black and white is a precise stylistic choice, which allows Miriam to translate her expressive intentions into images, longing for a “pure” form of the image, without any chromatic distractions, that results in a more authentic expression of reality.
In Miriam’s works, human presence, sometimes imposing and sometimes hidden, is essential because it makes a space alive. These photos are both instantaneous and expected “with the patience of a spider”, and the perspective and the play of light and shadow give back a representation, sometimes abstract, sometimes intensely lived, of the urban space.

Alchimia is a perfect combination of instinct and rationality, developing at the exact moment of the shot.

ALCHIMIA from 31.08 to 30.09.2018 at Hotel Savoia & Jolanda – opening 30.08.2018 at 6.30 pm. .
