The exhibition presents 33 new large-scale works in which the artist captures the luminous spectacle of light and color staged by the Neapolitan people around Mount Vesuvius on New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>

\u201cIn the year in which Neapolis celebrates its 2,500th anniversary, I imagined an exhibition capable of challenging our idea of time and the way we perceive it. I immersed the works in an incandescent red light pouring in through the large windows of the Albergo dei Poveri, as if Naples had been hurled onto a star at cosmic dawn. It is the same red as the magma chamber, where the volcano forges matter and its colors. It is the red of the darkroom, the place where the photographer attempts to fix an instant. This exhibition is born from a dialogue between different times: the time of Neapolitan civilization, the geological time of Vesuvius, and the infinitesimal time of the photographic shot.\u201d<\/p>

Mario Amura<\/p>

\u201cNapoli Explosion reveals how photography can transform a collective phenomenon into a visual meditation on light and perception. Amura\u2019s images bring together artistic intuition, individual sensibility, and analytical rigor, restoring the luminous vitality of Naples. It is a poetic work of imagery that questions our capacity to see and the way the city itself generates forms, sublimation, emotions, and knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The exhibition features 37 large-scale works by photographer Mario Amura, who, in a project developed over more than 13 years, has immortalized in true photographic paintings the fireworks celebration that the Neapolitan people stage around Mount Vesuvius on New Year\u2019s Eve. Over the years, the project has evolved into an experimentation of new forms of writing with light, using a unique color palette provided by the hundreds of thousands of fireworks exploding simultaneously. Over time, Napoli Explosion has become a work in search of the feeling of light.<\/p>

\"Gaze into these artworks for an enduring span, delve into their depths. The great danger, is that they may blind. They are so rich, so brilliant, that\u2019s a bit like staring at the Sun with naked eyes.\"<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
