In his work, Marco Tagliafico operates on original photographs of landscapes and objects, altering them through printing processes, collage, graphics and pictorial interventions. In the clash between reality, representation and post-production, his work produces images that resist any specific definition of space and time, questioning the perceptive capacity of the interactions between the human beings and the environment that surrounds them.

/ Il mio lavoro si pone nello scarto tra il reale e la sua rappresentazione, in un processo di ridefinizione dell'atto del vedere. Un processo che si svolge in un tempo dilatato e porta alla ricerca di significato nel mondo circostante fatto di immagini sfuggenti.
Situate tra fotografia, pittura e disegno, le opere oscillano tra astrazione e figurazione e prendono forma da uno studio sul paesaggio. Immagini stratificate che si ripetono, si dissolvono e riemergono dal buio della camera oscura per essere trasformate dalla luce.
Uno sguardo incerto che tenta di raggiungere qualcosa di elusivo all'interno della realtà nella quale siamo immersi.
My work stands in the gap between reality and its representation, in a process of redefinition of the act of seeing. A process that takes place into expanded time and leads to the search for meaning in the surrounding world made of fleeting images.
Located between photography, painting and drawing, the works oscillate between abstraction and figuration and take shape from a landscape study. Layered and repeated images, dissolving and then emerging from the blindness of darkroom to be transformed by light.
An uncertain gaze that tries to reach something elusive within the reality in which we are drowned. /
