the noise of silence... by Enzo Crispino

...the noise of silence.

The portfolio I present is inspired by a few verses of a poem by Alda Merini

SEEKING SILENCE

"I seek silence
like you who read with thought
not aloud
the sound of my own voice
would now be noise
not words but just annoying sound
that distracts me from thinking."

Alda Merini



The present project intends to reflect on how frenzied our current daily life is, the hectic pace of modern life distracting us from any emotions. Any gesture or thought is and remains sterile.We are closed in an intangible border
A sense of bewilderment besiege us making us fragile, the seek for our own innermost being is essential.
We are looking for something so difficult to identify, the need to look for ourselves in our lives anchored in memories.
Seeking something that can only be silence ...
Enzo Crispino.
Post scriptum:
the photographs were made
the afternoon of March 4, 2017 in Lido degli Estensi (Italy)
the different tonality of the sand
is caused by rain
while I photographed that afternoon
