Lo Stato dell'Arte Padiglione Italia - Veneto, 54^ Biennale di Venezia June 21 - November 21, 2011 | photography | Villa Contarini, Padova Curated by Stefano Cecchetto
The exhibition project, which underpinned the choice of artists to invite to the Veneto Pavilion, as part of the Italian Pavilion of the 54th Venice Biennale took into consideration contemporary artistic production in the period 2001-2011 in seven sections: Painting, Sculpture, Ceramics , Photography, Graphics, Design and Video-art.
For this exhibition Morucchio presented a diptych of the photographic series titled Improvviso terrore mi sospende il fiato e allarga nella notte gli occhi / Sudden terror suspends my breath and widens my eyes in the night.
"Is it water or mist? Dew or smoke? A violent and sudden wave or a soft and liquid caress? Am I flooded by light or darkness?
In the moment captured by the lens, the sea appears in many forms, tracing nocturnal white specters. It halts my breath… and I decipher water becoming mist in the air before my vision is completed, as I distantly perceive the sound of the wind and of waves against a rock.
Andrea Morucchio is able to seize ambiguous paths of perception from well-known landscapes such as that along the Malecón – a nighttime picture postcard of Havana- city of reddish earth, water and air daunting like spirits immersed in an ancestral fury, that awake and alarm eyes in the night.
The imaginary sound, the disappearing water, the spreading silence, the world that begins with the image and finishes in the observer, all of these end the visual spell of a unique Cuban stroll, so suggestive and yet so ordinary." (Marina Castrillo)
