Love
Love means above all self-recognition and I would add that the meaning of life is connected to it.
We are already at fault simply trying to explain, describe, contextualize Love using the tools that reason, technique and language make available to us.
It's not a feeling.
It is not a de facto state, understood as circumscribed by elements that are considered real such as space and time.
Falling in love is misunderstood with Love.
Feelings related to a story are identified with Love.
We have always talked about Love in every context to describe actions, attractions, passions, pains, shortcomings, but there is confusion: talking about Love adds nothing to its knowledge.
Alain Badiou said it well, on more than one occasion - love is one of the possible manifestations of the event, which unfolds in the opening that only an encounter makes possible and for this reason it escapes the bonds of narration. Love can be, or not be: in its gratuitousness lies the reason for its uniqueness. Love has to do with the Universe, with real reality (therefore without holographic meshes, cultural intermediations)
I find it pleasant and curious that the philosopher Roland Barthes is the author of an emblematic text such as "Fragments of an amorous discourse", where the author is certain that he is not talking about Love but about everything connected to it, and of a high text such as "La camera chiara" where he is concerned with describing, arguing the photographic language and the semiotics of photography.
Images that evoke symbols that evoke archetypes: let's go back to representing stars, universe and energy. Let's go back to evoking life.
Love means above all self-recognition and I would add that the meaning of life is connected to it.
After all, simply, the images I propose of Sara are the sign (because photography is a sign and not an icon) that I recognize as Love.
It is nothing other than recognizing myself in those manifestations and making myself recognizable makes me feel unique, united.
Unit: Sara who is me and I who am Sara.
It is said that in doing we are creators of reality and it is in the ways of doing it with someone that this reality becomes powerful and real: time does not exist, all personal thoughts are abandoned, actions do not take the form of a process and individuality is expands into a game of reciprocal exchange where both are coherent.
This coherence is a measure of awareness.
The photographs I carry with me are not a memory, my intention in shooting meant applauding with joy: a moment later the moment I experienced, suddenly because the camera was in my hand.
It is not my intention to declaim the depth, power, decisiveness of these manifestations of events but I would like to underline that Love is recognition of the self and the powerful and wealth have an easy game in this world of division, dispersion, rudeness and sentimentality .
