Pietro Pasolini's Infrared Photography Transforms Rome into Surreal Landscapes
Pietro Pasolini (born 1992, Brazil) presents a series of photographs at Galleria Valentina Bonomo in Rome, created using a combination of analog film and digital sensors that react to infrared light, invisible to the human eye. The images transform familiar places into surprising, surreal scenes. Pasolini describes the work as "a diary of emotions" and states that he sought refuge in the wilderness, disillusioned by the speed of daily life and the egocentrism of society. The photographs reveal a parallel reality where colors are an invention of the mind, challenging social norms and certainties. The exhibition highlights the natural human limitation of seeing the full light spectrum, which shapes our perception of the world.
