About ‘Moonwater‘ – words by Maria Teresa Scarabello:
The moon is considered a planet, a satellite and a globe at the same time.
It doesn’t have water, which is what gave life to Earth, and yet it influences its tides, and it once was part of our own planet. Meanwhile, the river is a landmark in the city, and often the reason for its birth, however, it is still able to maintain its own identity within the surrounding environment. Just like entering an unknown dimension within a known place. How many similarities are to be found between everyday spaces and outer space? In occasion of the Moon landing, the NASA images in this edition were to be linked with the archive of the photographer’s own image production, revolving around an investigation of lunar landscape in the urban fabric – but even more relevant now because of the rising question of how to find a cosmic dimension in a moment when our movements are restricted and controlled? Scattered fragments of spatial memory and strolls on the Thames’ riverside, intertwined in the shadows that can allow us to still dream of what’s distant but by staying in the same place.
