Title of the work:

Midday

I took this photo in May 2022, on a terrace in Alicudi overlooking the sea, during the afternoon: that suspended time after lunch when the sun, high and relentless, imposes silence and rest.

It is an exercise in surrendering to the light and its rhythms, a way to learn to listen to nature.

As Ettore Sottsass wrote about nearby Filicudi: "There, on all those places, the light of the immense sun's bulb arrives without filters, falls mercilessly, blinds the eyes [...]."

Technical specifications:

• Alicudi, 2022
• 60X40 cm - ex. 4/10
• Inkjet print on Canson Baryta Prestige FineArt paper 340 gsm

For this charitable initiative, Memorabid is responsible for collecting pre-auction bids.

The final closing of the lot will take place during the event on Monday, November 3rd, at 6:30 PM in the Salone d'Onore at Triennale Milano.

At the end of the pre-auction, the highest bid received for each lot will constitute the starting bid for the in-person event. If there are no further bids, the pre-auction winner will definitively win the lot.

Pre-auction winners will receive an email inviting them to raise a maximum bid, which will be carried forward to the auction on November 3rd to protect the interests of the online pre-auction participant.

Winners of the online pre-auction will also be offered the opportunity to defend their bid by participating remotely at the November 3rd event, via the telephone auction mechanism directly through the CAF Association.
