A place, a look, a dream, someone and something that confuse reality and oblivion. The I don’t know what is the almost nothing that evaporates at the same moment in which one tries to stop it with words or images, but which nevertheless remains in what escapes. A feeling more than a sensation, a having been and being able to be more than this present that we are. Beyond the confines of the day what remains and what we would have liked to desire with greater vigor, with fertile determination, with luxuriant restlessness. In the indistinct limit of the day the landscape remains, first stingy and then generous with small things, small scents, faces marked by wrinkles remain as if they were furrows full of stories ready to blossom, empty rooms remain, ruins and ruins which resemble us and which surprisingly are still there, still standing, still balanced to tell here and now that it was worth remembering that laugh, that day beyond its borders. The event is held at the Casa del Parco di Sant’Anna, a hamlet of Lode.

Giusy Calia was born in Nuoro, lives and works in Sassari. He is currently attending the third year of the “Logos and representation” PhD with a thesis on the relationship between image and word in the history of the representation of madness, a theme that he has explored and continues to investigate with unquenchable curiosity.

Sensitivity combined with investigative rigor are peculiar to Giusy Calia’s work, which uses the photographic medium (be it traditional, polaroid or digital) and its different outcomes (classic, large format prints, on different supports, up to video) for a story that aims to restore and recompose portraits, biographies and places filtered by feelings and emotions.
Since 2004 he has participated in numerous group and personal exhibitions including one at the MAN in Nuoro. His works are present in public and private collections.
