Italian / English text
Magic Campo recounts the days of the Palio di Siena, a dreamlike journey with neither winners nor losers, a fable in black and white. Piazza del Campo is one of the most famous and photographed places in the world. One might think that nothing of what we can still see represented of that place, in those days, could still surprise us. Vigni shows us this is not so: even in this place, even in those moments, the unknown worlds that exist one step beyond our familiar level of perception are accessible to the gaze of those who want to and know how to see. Suspended, enigmatic, estranging images that arouse no immediate recognition and, on the contrary, force the viewer into an exercise of awareness.
