Alberto Selvestrel
L'unica danza
L’unica danza accomuna tutti gli esseri, la danza del presente. ogni frammento che compone questa danza suggerisce relazioni con tutti gli altri come un filo intrecciato in un arazzo. nella mia installazione, nel borgo di fornelli, fotografie di luoghi lontani trovano spazio all’interno del paese, creando relazioni con il paesaggio e l’architettura

Selvestrel’s research (Turin, 1996) is aimed at condensing the maximum of his conceptual expression in the minimum of form. His photographs establish a link between the reality of landscape and the landscape he has imagined. Exploring the concept of landscape in a nostalgic way, Selvestrel’s works find their charm in their clarity of content and an attitude that is uncompromising towards conceptual and minimal art. In 2019, Fujifilm chose him as the only Italian testimonial for the launch of the X-Pro3 camera; in 2020, Automobili Lamborghini chose him for the «With Italy for Italy» project for the post Covid-19 revaluation of Italy.
Fornelli is a village in Molise with 1,871 residents in the municipality of Isernia, which is 12 km away. As an oil town and one of Italy’s most beautiful villages, the Molise municipality is home to characteristic towers with a «shoe» base connected to each other by a patrol path, today known as Via Belvedere, offering the chance to admire the surrounding landscape. The castle which Andrea Carmignano (XVIII century) transformed into a marquis palace has been enlarged over time to fully include the town’s main gate.
