Unseen: Book signing | Lóránd Hegyi. Poetic Metaphors and Urban Ethnography

The volume Poetic Metaphors and Urban Ethnography. Two approaches: Alessandra Calò and Pietro Bologna contains three critical essays by Lóránd Hegyi on recent photographic works by Alessandra Calò (The Gardens Tale, 2022 and χθόνιος | chthonic, 2024) and Pietro Bologna (Ettaro | Hectare, 2017-2024), who will be exhibiting at the fair and whose artistic production is characterised by two completely different approaches.

Alessandra Calò skillfully uses images to create metaphorical narratives that resonate with our inner world and imagination, to the point that the author calls her a "master of the dramaturgy of evocation". Otherwise, the artifacts scattered on the ground, found by chance by the "anarcho-romantic" Pietro Bologna during his morning walk with the dogs in a suburban field, encourage us to go beyond the appearances of reality, allowing each person to find his or her own meanings.
