Futurist photodynamism
Digital manipulation is a part of everyday life today,
but among the various expressive experiments undertaken by pioneers of photography and contemporary art, Anton Giulio Bragaglia’s Futurist Photodynamism personally manages to inspire the greatest interest.
The subject’s movement is placed in the foreground, particularly capturing the silhouette’s multiplication in successive sequences. Creating a sort of collage of many frames in a single image makes an iconographic dynamism possible. But Bragaglia’s photographic research did not have particular consensus, perhaps because cinematography better conveyed the concept of movement that was the essence of Futurism. My personal interest in photodynamism is so compelling that I have designed a photographic expressive research that has gradually grouped together various photographic shots characterized by specific technical operational indications that the iconography that has emerged makes without a shadow of a doubt the current contemporaneity of the entire cycle.
