This artwork, printed on plexiglass with bottom in dibond, shows the inner courtyard of Palazzo Sturzo in the EUR district of Rome, and is part of my research dedicated to the architectures of the EUR district in Rome. The EUR is a very modern and different district from the rest of the capital of Italy. It was designed and built starting from 1938. In it live together architectures in rationalist-neoclassical style designed and built in the years 1938-1950, buildings in modern style designed in the years 1960-1970, and contemporary architectures designed in the last two decades. My research on this district has produced an important art book (with over 160 of my photographs and 5 important texts by art critics) and an exhibition of my photographs in the Museum of the Central State Archives in the spring of 2018. Limited Edition can be printed in different sizes: from 60x40 cm to 220x150 cm Limited Edition can be printed on different materials: print on paper, or print on plexiglass with bottom in dibond, similar to Diasec print Within the limited edition, the collector can ask for a print in the material and with the size that he prefers. The price is so determined: height + width (ie half perimeter, in centimeters) x 1300 dollars + shipment price (x 1200 dollars for print on paper).

Carlo D'Orta (Italy, 1955). Art Photography. Art Studio in Rome, Piazza Crati 14, 00199. He has pursued his passion for photography for 40 years. He attended advanced painting classes at the Rome University of Fine Arts (RUFA) and a Master in Photography at the European Institut of Design (IED) in Milan, and devoted himself to the study of contemporary art. As a result, his photographic perspective undergoes a radical change. He abandons the documentary approach and try shots that tend towards abstraction, or tinged with a metaphysical/surrealist vision. The color sensitivity gained during the training gives to his photographs a strong painting characterization, sometimes because of limited interventions in post-production on lights and colors. He favors Architecture - focusing on de-contextualization of the details and the deformation produced by the reflection - and Dance. To the Architecture he dedicates first series "Berlin: White, Grey, Light" and "Vibrations" (in which it is clear the influence of futuristic vision), and later, from 2012, the series "Biocities" and "Geometries Still Life "(where instead there is a strong reminiscence of Cubism, Constructivism and moving color fields). In 2013 also starts the series "(Re)FineArt" aiming at a metaphysical vision of the architecture of large industrial complexes and whose title is a deliberate and provocative pun, combining the concept of art with that of one of the productions polluting what it is refining. To the Dance he approaches instead during his experience, from 2012, as component of the Board of National Academy of Dance. Born here the photographic series "Liquidance", where the focus is also often directed at particular decontextualized, shadows, vibration movement. In the last two years his research knows more strong evolutions arriving to the series titled "(De)Compositions". Here D'Orta, thanks to the shoot position and zoom, realise a strong compression of perspective and transformed landscapes of contemporary architecture in abstract geometries in which three-dimensional depth disappears. But then, using the geometric fragments that make up these photographs, she creates installations in plexiglass and glass sculptures in which recovers, but in a new way, the three-dimensionality of the original architecture.
