Archivio Remo Salvadori

"It initially arose in Rome, returning to the image of a tripod purchased in Chieti in 1979. I drew it to try to understand it. I was interested in the fact that it had joints, that the legs could be lengthened, that it had a sort of knee, and points of orientation. I experienced it, however, without association to the camera . . . . Its figure has become an archetype of the gaze: an icon."

"In the photographic field the tripod is used for long exposures, for subjects in motion and with scarce light; at a certain point I understood that these passages had to do with my processes and therefore this image become more and more concrete. At the Galleria Pieroni it was already a solid image, and then at Ala in 1982 I transformed it into a true sculpture."
