Cristian Castelnuovo's Dreamlike Airport Scenes at Galleria Macca
Cristian Castelnuovo (born 1977) presents a series of large-scale, unretouched photographs at Galleria Macca in Cagliari. His works, such as 'Oblò' and 'JFK Arrivals,' capture the surreal stillness of transit spaces like airports and subway stations, stripping them of their usual hustle. The image of JFK Arrivals, a rare quiet view of one of the world's busiest airports, won the Premio Celeste 2006. Castelnuovo's imagery evokes a dreamlike silence, even when depicting crowds at a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert. The exhibition invites viewers to reflect on contemporary life through anonymous places of passage, blurring the line between departure and arrival.
