Mario Giacomelli’s "Presa di Coscienza della Natura" (1976-1980) is a striking departure from his earlier human-focused work, embracing abstract aerial landscapes to explore the dynamic relationship between nature and artistic expression. Through high-contrast black-and-white photography, he transforms plowed fields and furrowed earth into gestural, painterly compositions, emphasizing movement, rhythm, and the impermanence of human intervention. By intensifying contrasts in post-production, Giacomelli blurs the line between photography and painting, evoking themes of time, transformation, and the cyclical nature of existence. This series stands as one of his most experimental and poetic, reinforcing his mastery of abstract landscape photography. – Some minor edge wear and light handling creases, otherwise in near excellent condition.
