N.P.F. (New Photodynamic Futurism)

Here we are not dealing with a particular type among the many types of photography but rather with a global artistic practice in which photography enters constructively alongside the concept of the gesture, in close connection with it, not to document it retrospectively, but to offer it the very possibility of being. (Anton Giulio Bragaglia) Riccardo Angelini's New Photodynamic Futurism starts from the assumption that the movement is not the subject under consideration, but is the means through which entities, springing from the unconscious, manifest themselves. The artist aims to bring into life ephemeral spirits that forcibly demand attention and that manage to emerge when the light draws their traits through movement. We find ourselves before figures, anthropomorphic or otherwise, generated by the encounter between an automatic-involuntary gesture and the artist's consciousness. Angelini examines and exanimates these formless epiphanies, subject to the dynamics of chance and light, and then crystallizes them in objective entities.
