“Gli Assoluti” represent the maximum expression of the work of Amendola, the artist who gives life to the sculptures through the light of his rigorously analogue camera.

A series of cement and fiber panels provide material support for Amendola’s photographs, which portray some glimpses of Michelangelo’s sculptures.

The three-dimensional nature of the material and the skilful use of light by the photographer make the image sensual, tactile, turgid. A subtle alchemy is established between the Renaissance master and the contemporary one, which gives life to an authentic work, which reinterprets Michelangelo’s masterpieces through new eyes, capable of showing us something that would not even exist with the naked eye.
