La terra metafisica 30 Limited edition Edition of 30 Travel the landscape in search of new emotions through its shapes and its lights. Thus was born the idea of this project that led me to a new visual interpretation of architecture, environments, people, beaches, salt marshes and all those elements that fill the space of the landscape as subjects of my personal inspiration for a production of new works to be proposed in a very limited edition. Designing shapes and lights even before meeting them was my design challenge. My South is an island where the landscape differences and the magic of lights are different from geographical contexts that seem very close. Very close geographically but very different assurances for the sensations that are perceived along the Ragusan landscape or that of central Sicily. All contexts that form a constantly different visual and interpretative space, but a light accumulates them.Traditional chemical printing process in black and white. To make the image stable over time, the printing process is performed in full compliance with all the rules for development, fixing and washing. This series of images is treated with Pirocatechin toning. This treatment allows you to have a work in which the details, especially in the shadows, are enhanced, giving it a unique appearance with black-olive intonation characteristics. In addition to the aesthetic advantage, the work lends itself to being exposed to tonal variations without problems and durability is guaranteed. The search LIGHTS SOUTH of which this image is part is printed in only 2 copies

Attilio Scimone began his photographic research in the seventies during his university studies in architecture. These were the years where he was able to further elaborate research related to visual perception, aesthetics of the landscape, and the language of photography. This training enabled him, in later years, to operate in certain specialized areas of photography. During the same years, he initiated various artistic collaborations that influenced his training. At the same time, he dedicated himself to professional work related to still-life, industrial photography, and landscapes. Since 1986, he taught photography and has ties with several public schools and, later on, with the world of vocational training. There are many books published on Sicilian landscape and architecture, but his artistic experience matured in the field of B&W photography. Since 1980, he began diligent photographic research that led him to explore the vast sphere of photographic materials, experimenting particular treatments using chemicals that interact with emulsion gelatin to create images in which the depth of light and darks blend into an ever more precise and controlled union. His images, therefore, began to take on an artistic value where the perfect combination with matter is fundamental. At the end of the eighties, he began a photographic exploration within the same emulsion. The deep blacks of his images are dissipated by the paper medium of the image to create his “grignotage”, and this is the technique that he went on to developed for a decade. Since the year2000, four important encounters marked his relationship with photography and the art world. The first was with the French critic, Jean Claude Lemagny, the second with the editor of “People Photography”, Enzo Mirisola, the third with critic and historian of photograpy Pippo Pappalardo, the fourth with the critic, Diego Gulizia and, finally, his encounter with Antonio Vitale. Thanks to these “partnerships” and “friendships”, he consolidated a somewhat tormented relationship with photography: his “simple photographs” took on a very different flavour. In this decade, he also experimented the artistic possibilities offered by Polaroid transfers, an endeavour that was rudely interrupted in early 2008 when these materials were no longer produced. He has exhibited in important artistic events, and confirmed sector magazines have published his works.
