Matteo Giachetti is a photographer, who uses pictures to create his own personal universe of people, events and places. He proceeds as an author behaves with any story and he uses, with extreme boldness, the traditional ingredients of the painting which has an ancient mediterranean root. He could be compared to an old fresconist painter, who compose spectacular

sceneries in which the bible stories are conveyed to the audience.

But his visionary form is often pervading by the urban and post modern culture because he is mainly a photographer who starts to tell his stories from reality surrounding himself. He is an artist fascinated by the anecdotal datum hidden in the daily nature. The Giachetti’s narration does not need magnificent subjects or extraordinary events to construct its epic; he looks through the things as a dreamer and every things could become spectacular, depending only by his own feeling. 

In the “Multilayers” artwork all the memories are still superimposed: lights, shapes, colors and signs are going through several steps to express an emotional experience of the world, where every pieces become the author’s intention to built the story. It is like a free jazz concert, where the possibility of narration seems endless and unforeseeable.

So what does he want to tell us? Maybe an aspect of a story, that you can remember or that you do not know, but Matteo Giachetti makes you an imagine and sows it inside your soul.
