THE NAMING JOB WE DID TO CREATE “ELAPSE”, THE PAYOFF “A SURFACE STORY” AND THE STRUCTURE OF THE CATALOGUE INTRODUCTION HOLD THE CONCEPT OF THE PASSAGE OF TIME AND OF HOW IT INTERVENES ON MATTER. A STONE CONSUMED BY TIME, WHICH IN THE CONTEMPORARY AESTHETICS IS REDISCOVERED AND APPRECIATED ESPECIALLY FOR ITS IMPERFECTIONS, DEFINING NEW AESTHETIC CANONS. THE CATALOGUE ALSO EXPLORES THE SYNERGY CREATED BETWEEN NATURE, TIME AND MAN AND SOME OF THE PHOTO SHOOTS ARE DEDICATED TO SUCH CONCEPT. THE DANCER REPRESENTS A METAPHOR FOR BEAUTY AND HARMONY. THE CATALOGUE BODY HAS BEEN SECTIONED INTO “HABITATS”, WITH LOCATIONS ASSOCIATED TO A QUALIFYING ADJECTIVE AND A POETIC DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENTS.
