DESCRIPTION
This work, made with Ready Made Fuji Instax Square on cardboard technique, is registered in the archive Nordest num 22_0599. In 1983, Maurizio Galimberti started to use Polaroid only because he could see the result of the shot immediately. In 1991 he started to collaborate with Polaroid Itallia. In 1997 the polaroid mosaic became actual work of art. The "photographic mosaic" technique he developed, inspired by Boccioni and Duchamp, consists in deviding an image into several polaroids, each showing a different detail of the same subject. In a second moment, the different Polaroids are combined together to recreate the image in a collage.
ARTIST
Maurizio Galimberti was born in Como, at the beginning of his career he works as geometer in his family's company.
He approached the world of analogue photography, by starting out with a Widelux rotating lens camera, and then in 1983, he radically and definitely turns to Polaroid. Thanks to the Polaroid, he was able to express him self through his personal technique of the "mosaico fotografico" (photographic mosaic), that he used mainly for portraits, above all in the world of cinema, art and culture.
The 'mosaic' soon became a technique for portraying not only faces, but also landscapes, architecture and cities. With balance, Galimberti alternates the emotion for the composition with the inclination for the detail, the intimate scene to be filmed and immortalized in a single Polaroid.”
In 1991 he began collaborating with Polaroid Italia, of which he soon became an official testimonial-ambassador, publishing the volume POLAROID PRO ART in 1995.
With the end of Polaroid production in 2008 and the resulting shortage of films, Galimberti began using Fuji films, in 2007, he became an official testimonial-ambassador and Instant Artist for Fuji Italia with the Instax Square project.
