                      ndrea Zanatta is one of the most
        bY ANDReA pAGNes  the use of black & white and colors photos,
                      interesting photographers of the
               Ayoung generation in Italy. Both in

             in his work is evident a particular attention
             to the human figure as well as for objects and
             landscapes that the artist try to fuse together
             to reach a non-common mixture capable of
             expressing emotions, feelings and meditative
             thoughts. Besides this, what really fascinates
             Zanatta is also a nocturnal atmosphere
             where mystery, dreams and the ineffable
             seems gradually to become sophisticated
             but necessary elements to give birth to his
             compositions.
               Technically, his research is focused on
             movement. The figures seem almost escaping
             from the electronic eye of his camera - Nikon
             F5 -, sometimes almost trying to break
             through the rigid, linear borders of the
             paper, and, at the same time, a sort of diffuse
             strenght and energy that permeates the whole
             photograph entraps them. The result is to be
             in front of a sort of diaphanous creature that
             struggles with the eye of the watcher.
               Light and shadows give their contribution
             to this emphasis, while, behind all of this, a
             message of improbable freedom substantiates
             the content of these artworks.
