Brigitte March Niedermair - Gianfranco Maraniello

A fine art photography book accompanying a major exhibition (November 15, 2015 -April 3, 2016) in which is offered an impressive silent dialogue between the photographs of Brigitte Niedermair and Giorgio Morandi's paintings. The present volume is made up of two series of works: 1) The series of photos Transition Giorgio Morandi (2012-13) starts out from a reflection on the painting of Giorgio Morandi and his ability to speak to us about an open universe. Through the eye of her camera Niedermair looks at objects in the artist's studio in an attempt to understand the tensions, emotions, and complexity of his seemingly simple still lifes. 2 ) The work 'Are you still there' concentrates on one of the largest works of funerary architecture in history: the pyramids of Egypt, monumental and extraordinary constructions that are a symbol of the passage between this life and the next. Brigitte March Niedermair's research probes the horizon of the pyramids, a mysterious boundary between earth and sky, between the visible and invisible.
