Eugenio Pizzo

"Nel vuoto della Città" (the City's void) is the name of this photograph, shot in Berlin outside last summer. Sunlight slices into the dark space, creating a rhythmic sequence of luminous arches and sharp shadows on the paved floor. Center frame, a bike leans against a pillar, the sole sign of human activity: the extreme contrast and the isolation of the bicycle perfectly embody the tile, suggesting an unexpected and melancholic quietude at the heart of the urban environment.
