360° HORIZION is a series consisting of eight panels measuring 150 x 100cm. Printed with inkjet on Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper mounted on aluminium.

The protagonist of eight shots on display is the horizon with architectural elements that articulate the space and the perception of the sea. The series is conceived as a unicum, in which the line of infinity remains constant throughout all the photos, to create an enveloping space. The infinity of the sea creates the backdrop to clear and geometric figures, with precise shadows that draw the space. As is the artist’s style, these are authentic shots of small built relics, positioned and photographed by the author, enlarged and printed in a large format.

The work follows Palmieri’s series, Standing on a beach, shown at Galleria Jannone in Milan in 2015.

Text by Denis Curti

I think Palmieri has made an incredible effort to come to a truly original point of view. In his images there are no moments, there are no facts and the shots deliberately mislead and constantly surprise. His vision has more to do with the disappearance. A generous gesture, made by him, intends to prioritise the viable harmonious nexus between vision and thought. If there really exists a grammar of images, this is the starting point for its research.
