NoNoise

Florence 2011
Anti-graffiti paintings in the streets of Florence.

NoNoise is a collection of patches, a reflection on the urban space as a media to communicate. This is why in recent years the fight against street art, graffiti and wall writing has intensified, notwithstanding the fact that Florence is not an Italian city that has been particularly affected by the phenomenon. The covering over of these works in the urban space follows the reasoning that they must be eliminated as fast as possible and not that the original state of the wall must be carefully restored. In this serie the stains of coloured paint that are superimposed and that fit together on the walls of the city are transformed in reality into a new mural work, into a new level of communication. They could appear to be the work of a new and very prolific conceptual artist, whose work is expressed with discretion in a progressive and determined addition of layers.
In this way photography becomes an instrument for the construction of a personal and lively imagination in the context of the visual war of the modern city. An instrument for the defence of one’s own imagination and expression.
