Photography: Black & White, Printing on Ilford Mg ART 300. Edition is a 2/7 The work is part of a research on "Intimity". The complete series consists of 30 photographs. ... Each work is gathered so much in the absolute essentiality of its existence, as in being and in being part of a context and of a composition that expands and expands the content, time for consistency, now by contrast, now by assonance, for now and now back to similarity. The choices are never improvised. The combinations belong to the selection and add something to the work that the work, taken in its absolute value, not always able to communicate. The deep blacks, conjugated with white contrasted and married to gray modulations, recompose apparently discounted subjects: the cornfield swaying the ears, the beach themselves foamy sea, the woods with the verticality of his trunks, and the roughness of their bark, the flood that accumulates algae on the shoreline, the water that burns the sea pebble, the mist that lightens the delineation of the day, the Macconi burned by the midday light, the polished rocks and absorbed by the sand, the thickening of the clouds and the ' radiate the sun's light reflected by clouds, the stones accumulated on the tip, the parallel rows of stubble, the hill covered with spring daisies or the quay of the asphalt road marked in black. As visual similarities are combined, from time to time, the thistles, the Roman hyacinth, marsh reeds, still life compositions or visual tributes to other artists, echoing a photographic research in parallel absorbs his interest. ... The series is realized with 4x5" film. "The abrasions and scratches on the film are made before it was exposed.

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.
