When, after days or weeks and months from having completed the print, I again look at it,\u00a0 I realise I have almost forgotten the journey to get to the final result. What amazes me and leaves me to\u00a0 wonder, is how large is the black that conceals silence,\u00a0 the infinite,\u00a0 hope and fear.

These metamorphosis start right from\u00a0 the choice of the film, exposure, shutter speed, chemicals, in the way I go around and deceive the \u201cgestures\u201d of the camera and\u00a0 where technique, in this case\u00a0 at the service of creativity, becomes essential \"<br \/>For <strong>Alessandra Vinotto,<\/strong> in\u00a0 this exhibition with photographs\u00a0 of the theatre where constant is the strong dreamlike dimension, photography is \"capturing those sudden appearances which I entrust to the eternal memory in the space of a frame.\u201d<br \/>Faced with an performer, backstage or on stage,\u00a0 with her camera, Alessandra Vinotto seeks that communication transpiring from\u00a0 gestures and intentions hidden beyond the visible.\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>Vasco Ascolini whom she met only two years ago, with his theatrical photographs discovered when she was young, has actually marked her professional path leading to the choices that would have taken her to \"perpetuate the passage that takes the actor to be a spectator of himself crystallising the moment corresponding to his change of status \"<br \/>Theatre lived as \u201cthe ephemeral and intangible place where what I do instinctually when\u00a0 photographing\u00a0 is shooting the next gesture, already announced but not yet occurred, that moment\u00a0 still\u00a0 lost in the inner maze of the actor. \"<br \/>She says of herself: I try to grasp the infinite shades of feeling, the plurality of gestures and meanings that each representation carries hidden from view of the distracted ones. \" But photographing\u00a0 the theatre is not enough for her:\u00a0 \u201cthe theatre has to be sniffed, devoured, metabolised, deeply lived\u201d,\u00a0 and this passion enables her to produce \"shots closer to symbolism than documentation, capable of showing the moments stolen from the movements of the soul.\"\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Ginni Gibboni<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-1489-0-0-3\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-last-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-1489-0-0-3\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><h3 class=\"widget-title\">Biographies<\/h3>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p><strong>Vasco Ascolini<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nasce a Reggio Emilia nel 1937, dal \u201973 al \u201990 \u00e8 stato il fotografo ufficiale del Teatro Municipale \u201cRomolo Valli\u201d di Reggio Emilia: durante questa esperienza ha intrapreso un confronto tra il linguaggio fotografico e quello teatrale, concentrandosi sul movimento dei corpi, sulla danza e la mimica.
