Artist Biography Collaborates with Galleria Artd2 Milan Galleria Blanchaert Milan Series "Reading" (photographs not posed) Cities declined as immense open-air reading rooms. The depicted figures are caught casually, not posed. started in 2003 and still in progress), in which cities are presented as vast reading rooms in the open air, whose boundaries—embracing stairs, low walls, alleys, and monuments—easily become refuges in which to surrender to one’s favorite authors. Montecucco manages to evoke that gentle and malleable atmosphere ready to welcome and cradle the reader, preserving the intimacy of the sweetest moment amid the chaos of the city. In the case of the images presented by Montecucco, the artist has managed to give an additional meaning to his works, which have been enriched by the concept of reading, and thus of Culture. Photography, with its casual readers, is the protagonist of the architectures and the magnificent works of art scattered through our art cities; it merges with them, creating an intimate and silent dialogue between human being, art, and thought. The depicted figures are caught casually, while absorbed in reading, often with their backs turned and constantly unaware of being part of a work of art. Claudio Montecucco tells his project using the words of Robert Doisneau: "What I was trying to show was a world where I would feel at ease, where people would be kind, where I would find the tenderness I hoped to receive. My photos were like proof that this world can exist."
