EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "Abandoned chairs on the shore of Ticino" taken by Filiberto Pittini in January 1982, a hauntingly beautiful scene unfolds before our eyes. The image showcases a row of weathered chairs scattered along the serene shoreline of the Ticino River, creating an intriguing juxtaposition between man-made objects and the raw power of nature. The chairs, once functional furnishings for civic spaces, now stand abandoned and forgotten amidst a backdrop of lush vegetation. Each chair tells its own story through its worn-out appearance and cracked wooden frames, symbolizing the passage of time and human transience. As we gaze upon them, we can't help but wonder about their past occupants – who sat here? What conversations or contemplations took place? A thick layer of fog blankets the landscape, adding an air of mystery to the composition. It obscures our view beyond these forsaken seats, hinting at hidden secrets waiting to be discovered within nature's embrace. The misty atmosphere also serves as a metaphorical representation of life's uncertainties and fleeting moments. Pittini's expert use of light enhances both mood and depth in this photograph. Shadows dance across each chair leg while delicate rays filter through gaps in foliage nearby – reminding us that even in abandonment there is beauty to be found. Through his lens, Pittini invites us to reflect on themes such as impermanence, nostalgia, and humanity's interaction with nature. This thought-provoking image encourages viewers to contemplate their own place within this vast world while appreciating the intricate relationship between mankind and natural elements. "Abandoned chairs on the shore of Ticino" captures not only a specific moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions that transcend its physical boundaries. It stands as a testament to Pittini's artistic vision while inviting us into his world where beauty can be found even among discarded remnants from days gone by.
