PRESS RELEASE
FABIANO PARISI - SUPERNOVA
Jan 25 – Mar 4, 2023
A Supernova is the explosion of a star. It is the largest explosion that takes place in space. A star is in balance between two opposite forces, it’s a balance of gravity pushing in on the star and heat and pressure pushing outward from the star’s core. When a massive star runs out of fuel, it cools off. This causes the pressure to drop. Gravity wins out, and the star suddenly collapses. The collapse happens so quickly that it creates enormous shock waves that cause the outer part of the star to explode. The Supernova photo project take inspiration from this concept as an "explosion" of energy and colors, with a visual balance between different forces as still and motion, sharp and blur, realistic and abstract. Each photo is digitally hand painted with broad strokes of color, giving movement and energy in contrast to the still architecture's space, that become fluid and in motion.
