Close landscapes - the book
This first volume shows thirty images from the project Close Landscapes; each work has a similar composition made of two or three, more or less defined, horizontal bands. I questioned myself on the role of composition to give rise to different feelings in the viewer, and I think that the structure of the image can be easily overrated. I was convinced that even in such simplicity a wide palette of emotions could be appreciated. "[...] The panoramic photographs of Andrea Calabresi can be serenely beautiful or sternly haunting, but always they engage for me the eternal drama of our desire to bring heaven down to earth and raise the ground of our being into the sanctity of the infinite [...]".

Excerpt from the foreword by Arno Rafael Minkkinen
.... Utilizzando un formato che gli consente di tagliare l'immagine inseguendo la linea dell'orizzonte, Calabresi apre il sipario della visione periferica mentre distende il mondo di fronte a lui cercando di comprendere nell'immagine quanto pił cielo e terra possibile da mettere a confronto. Ma queste .... Utilizing a camera format that allows him to crop tightly towards the horizon line, Calabresi pulls the curtains of peripheral vision apart as he elongates the world before him to gather into the picture as much sky and land as possible to bring into comparison. But the pictures are not about the sky, not about the earth, and not about finger-pressed perfection. They speak, instead, to natural occurrence and the collaborative harmonies and disharmonies between our grounded body and our floating mind - reality and reverie. The panoramic photographs of Andrea Calabresi can be serenely beautiful or sternly haunting, but always they engage for me the eternal drama of our desire to bring heaven down to earth and raise the ground of our being into the sanctity of the infinite.
