Italian photographer Andrea Garuti (born 1965) has a passion for cityscapes, traveling around the world to capture the spirit of different cities in his light-streaked, impressionistic works. This monograph departs from his earlier books in its inclusion of notes and drawings, which, along with his photographs, create a scrapbook travelogue.
The research at the base of Notebook is pivoted on the relationship between two artistic languages: photography and painting. The main theme is architecture in an urban context, whether it be build- ings, roads, city outfits or vaster metro- politan settings. Notebook strives for a stronger synthesis between the two aforementioned languages and makes use of transfer printing technique on plaster panels, recycled paper and other materials. The main difference with Andrea Garuti's previous work lies exactly in the blending of painting, which impresses new shapes in photographs through the use of color and forces the images to produce new and unexpected spaces, and photography, which in turn incorporates those colors and transparencies into its own world. Analyzing architecture through this cross-breeding method has given to the author, the possibility of re-interpreting the City as a subject, freeing it from the imposing precision of the camera lens.
