YLENIA SIGNORELLI
Tornanti
A “tornante”—a hairpin turn—takes shape during the design process, when two straight paths can’t meet because the space is too tight for a curve.
Its form becomes a pause, a space, a question.
Tornante speaks of love—an unnamed love—of what emerges in that in-between space, and of what comes after: compromise. It’s about inhabiting that precise moment between two things. Paying attention. Being fully present. It’s the feeling of holding on and letting go, at the same time.
Ylenia Signorelli lives and works in Milan. Her research explores how looking—over time, influences the perception of reality and the act of image-making.
Questioning photographic language, personal narrative is used as a starting point for a creative process—a search for form, an operation in which the individual observes and reorganizes the becoming of time and things.
