“Modulnova Art Project is a path of research that combines art, photography and architecture to tell the soul of Modulnova in an intimate and universal dimension,” explains Jenny Presotto, Marketing Manager of Modulnova. “Through conversations with artists, photographers and other creative voices, we weave together worlds and sensibilities, expanding our research to new forms of expression. With Weight of Light we want to give voice to what normally remains invisible: the path, the human meaning behind the project, the time of construction, the tension toward light.”

Weight of Light

Renato D'Agostin

The second edition of MAP, Modulnova Art Project, entrusts the gaze of Renato D’Agostin, curated by Claudio Composti and coordinated by Serena Cassissa, with a photographic journey that explores the dialogue between shadow and revelation, gesture and contemplation, matter and vision.

A tale in three acts: Origin in Darkness, Becoming Light, The Weight of Light

Like an initiatory rite, Weight of Light takes the viewer along a path of transformation. From the spark hidden in darkness, to the plunge into an ocean of light, the Venetian artist recounts the tension of those seeking their own truth balanced between darkness and revelation.

Darkroom

It is in the darkroom that D’Agostin’s thinking takes shape. In that suspended space, where time expands and light becomes living matter, the photographer shapes his vision.

In the red of the lamp, the artist inhabits the threshold between the invisible and the visible: hands dance on the paper and from the shadows the image emerges like a revelation: an ancient gesture dense with meaning that restores to photography the dimension of waiting and unveiling, with the awareness that every form of beauty requires time, care and listening.
