Seven Seasons of the Spirit. 5. The foundations of light 2015

Gian Maria Tosatti created "Seven Seasons of the Spirit. 5. The foundations of light" with photography. The photograph captures an interior with the light source, which is of high contrast, coming from the outside, through an open window. The color scheme is dominated by a muted palette of blues and browns on the walls, contrasting with the intense white light flooding through the window, creating a strong sense of depth. The composition is stark, with the geometric shapes of the room's architecture emphasized by the play of light and shadow. The peeling paint and bare chair contribute to a sense of abandonment. Light challenges perception and highlights the tension between decay and renewal, mirroring philosophical ideas about existence. Tosatti uses light not just as a visual element but as a signifier of transformation. The artwork prompts a contemplation of absence and presence. The photograph invites viewers to question fixed meanings, using the formal elements of light and space to engage with broader existential questions.
