Synopsis

There is an invisible line that unites the faces of Naples, its usual gestures declined in an eruption of different souls. Occhi su Napoli tries in its 223 black and white shots to capture this line, to interrupt its flow in a photographic instant, wisely choosing similar faces in a common musicality, tension, nervous sensuality. Not even the thrust into the most traditional of the city's repertoires seems to spoil the originality of some intuitions, such as the irruption of light, an explosion that is sometimes inversely proportional to the width of the streets and alleys.

Corrivetti has paid homage to the city, bringing to light its millenary freshness and youth.

Claudio Corrivetti
(Roma, 1960) He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Rome. Attracted by the great French and American humanist photography of the 1950s, he began to collaborate with newspapers and magazines. The meeting with his friend and teacher Tazio Secchiaroli is the ideal opportunity to develop a new vision on photography and, after a short break in the cinema, he begins to travel to make reportages. In 1994 he founded the Postcart publishing house, combining the publishing activity with personal research between photography, music, polaroid and drawing. His works have converged in numerous publications and exhibitions: among the latest in Rome, the solo exhibition I luoghi di Dino Campana, during the Fotoleggendo 2008 festival and Roma in bianco e nero at FNAC and Palazzo delle Esposizioni, as part of Festival della Fotografia 2008.
