TONI DiNERO(Black Tones)
A speech on the negative, even a requiem for his death.
A Prosit! to the passage of the silver salts negative, to its technology,
that has a particular unconscious,
embossing numbers and brand of film on the frame,
that needs a camera on which to bend your back,
that uses toxic substances to develop the latent image,
that must be then converted to a print ...
The magic of the Black / White is also carried to its death:
It is a passage in a pictorial afterlife, where it will live forever. |

 |
1) The Black.
My cat passed.
Black cat.
And "the Black" was called ...
Nothing that a dead cat.
But it left a void that now I associate with his blackness.
It colored my soul with his black being.
And now I'm project an exhibition of black tones.
To him I dedicate this exhibition ...
To a dead cat! |
 |
2) The fingers of the witch.
Long, broken, tenacious,
they grip the tree back
and mine. |
 |
3) Wooden tombstone.
Reading the years in the wood rings is like reading
the date of birth and death on a memorial plaque.
But it is a photographic icon too: how many thousands
of photos had been taken at a cut tree trunks?
But this from Manziana! |
 |
4) Tree juice.
The birth of an amber gem.
A Faustian Homunculus,
a casual appearance in an alchemical process
seraching for the technological unconscious. |
 |
5) Requiem for Black / White negative.
On the new ink-jet sheet music. |
