EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph titled "'They won't grow'" captures a poignant moment during the exhibition of the esteemed group 'La Bussola' at the Circolo Fotografico Milanese from January 13th to 15th in 1953. Taken between 1950 and 1953 by Balocchi Vincenzo, this image showcases a unique blend of poster art, writing instruments, and architectural elements. In this thought-provoking composition, we see a male portrait dwarfed by a towering staircase adorned with posters. The subject's presence evokes feelings of curiosity and intrigue as he stands amidst an array of movable structures that form part of an intricate communication network. The railing serves as both a physical boundary and metaphorical representation of barriers faced by individuals within society. The mood conveyed through this photograph is one of introspection and contemplation. It invites viewers to explore themes such as human phenomena, thematic searches, and necessary tools for understanding our surroundings. Through his lens, Balocchi Vincenzo captures not only the tangible objects but also intangible emotions associated with them. 'They won't grow' challenges traditional notions of growth and progress while highlighting the power dynamics inherent in societal structures. This image prompts us to question our own place within these systems and consider how they shape our individual experiences. As we delve into this visual narrative captured over half a century ago, let us reflect on its relevance today. Balocchi Vincenzo's work continues to inspire conversations about identity, perception, and the ever-evolving nature of communication – reminding us that art has the ability to transcend time while offering new perspectives on timeless subjects.
