(1187) Giuseppe Satriani -Dawn into Dusk

About this artwork

The piece that I created for this project, integrates the page of the Newnes’ Pictorial Knowledge 1950’s Encyclopedia that I received (Spiral Tunnels) with two of my photographs of two spiral staircases, one in Rome and the other in Madrid. I made sure that the two stairways had a point of integration with the entrances of the tunnels and that they could accentuate the incredible concept of railway engineering carried out in Canada by the Spiral Tunnels. I also wanted to respect the color palette of the illustration contained in the encyclopedia page.
Spiral tunnels were made in the early 1900s, with the intention of allowing trains to overcome large differences in height and thus allow merchandise to be brought from Field to Wapta Lake.
Human intelligence, today as then, has always allowed us to overcome incredible difficulties. My intention with this image is to assert how humanity can, thanks to science and collaborative work, bring us back from darkness to light, making us meet dawn in the dusk.

About Giuseppe

I am a curious of life with idealistic tendencies and a fighter. Someone who believes that shadows are the necessary contrast to enhance the light. Someone who always tries to keep aligned what he lives with what he feels.
I have always been in contact with photography, a passion that was handed down to me by my father and which was finally activated at the age of 20 when a friend gave me a fantastic Voigtlander and introduced me to the magic of the darkroom.
I define my work as “emotional, fine-art photography. I usually propose landscape, architecture, conceptual and abstract images, by using and combining different techniques both in-camera and in post-processing.
I would love to combine photography with drawing, graphics and painting but unfortunately my artistic skills are just focused on traditional and digital photography, so I try to make up for this lack with the use of digital techniques, that usually combine with more traditional ones. Author of the Photosatriani blog, collaborator of digital art magazines such as: Sineresi, Dodho, Camera Lucida.
