EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph titled "Benches: Stone Bench" transports us to an urban park in Europe, capturing the essence of a bygone era. Taken between 1980-1990 by the talented photographer Filiberto Pittini, this image showcases a timeless piece of civic furniture - a stone bench. The scene is simple yet evocative. The weathered stone bench stands proudly amidst its surroundings, exuding strength and durability. Its smooth surface bears witness to countless moments shared among friends, lovers, or solitary individuals seeking solace in nature's embrace. The composition is strikingly balanced; the bench sits at the center of the frame while lush greenery surrounds it on both sides. This juxtaposition highlights how this humble object harmoniously coexists with its natural environment. It becomes more than just a seat but rather an integral part of the park's landscape. Pittini's choice to capture this scene in black and white adds depth and timelessness to his work. The absence of color allows us to focus on textures - from the roughness of the stone bench to delicate patterns formed by shadows dancing across its surface. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded that benches like these serve as silent witnesses to our lives unfolding before them. They bear witness to conversations held under sunny skies or tears shed during stormy days. They provide respite for weary souls seeking refuge from bustling city streets. In "Benches: Stone Bench". Pittini invites us into a world where simplicity meets beauty – where an ordinary object becomes extraordinary through thoughtful observation and artistic vision.
