{"title":"Max Serradifalco","description":"\u003cp\u003eMax Serradifalco is a visual landscape artist based in Palermo. In 2011, driven by a passion for nature and experimentation, he conceived Web Landscape Photography, a project through which he travels the planet virtually, using only satellite maps in search of a new way of seeing the Earth. His images know no manipulation: they reveal the drawings nature has already traced, hidden among deserts, bays, coral reefs and mountain ranges, waiting for an eye patient enough to recognize them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn his work the view from above becomes an act of wonder, dissolving the boundaries between travel, photography, geography and digital art. It is an aesthetic project with an ethical heart, a celebration of the beauty of the Earth that becomes a quiet appeal for its protection. His works have traveled from Museo Riso in Palermo to the Capitoline Museums in Rome, from Manifesta 12 to the Bangladesh pavilion at the 58th Venice Biennale, and today live in public and private collections.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"e-art-h-34-oregon","title":"E-ART-H 34 Oregon","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn E-ART-H 34 Oregon, the pale, brushed curves of cultivated fields sweep in from either side like drapery, and the untilled ground between them resolves into a chest and abdomen modeled by shadow, as if a classical sculpture lay embedded in the earth. Nothing here is manipulated: the image is a satellite photograph, framed and captured exactly as the land appears from space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe work belongs to E-ART-H, the series in which Serradifalco searches the planet's surface for figures hiding in plain sight. Faces, bodies, and silhouettes take shape from deserts, fields, and coastlines, turning the viewer into a co-protagonist who completes the image through the act of seeing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMax Serradifalco (Palermo, 1978) pioneered satellite photography as an artistic practice with his 2011 project Web Landscape Photography, virtually traveling the globe in search of a new way of observing the Earth. His work has been presented at the Bangladesh Pavilion on the occasion of the 58th Venice Biennale, in a virtual exhibition on the Vatican website, and at Manifesta 12 Palermo, and is held in public collections including Museo Riso, Sicily's museum of modern and contemporary art.

In this work from his Web Landscape Photography series, Max Serradifalco pairs the satellite's view of Mount Etna with that of Mount Fuji, and the resemblance is uncanny: two snow covered summits exhaling faint plumes, their flanks scored by radiating channels where snow and dark volcanic rock interlace like brushstrokes. Together they become one continuous landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEtna and Fuji are both sacred presences in the cultures that live beneath them, mountains of myth, fear and devotion. By setting them side by side Serradifalco draws a line between Sicily and Japan, between Mediterranean and Pacific, suggesting that from the satellite's distance the borders we draw dissolve and what remains is a shared planet with shared forms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeb Landscape Photography, begun in 2011, is the founding project of Serradifalco's practice and made him one of the first artists to create photographic series exclusively through satellite maps, virtually traveling the planet in search of new ways of observing and reinterpreting the landscapes of the Earth. The images are not manipulated. Serradifalco, born in Palermo in 1978, has exhibited in museums, foundations and galleries across Italy and Greece, and his works are held in public collections including the Museo Riso in Palermo.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Max Serradifalco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58559578734924,"sku":null,"price":7800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/6790\/7660\/files\/WebLandscapePhotography11EtnaFuji4.jpg?v=1787657250"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/6790\/7660\/collections\/Max_Serradifalco_profile.jpg?v=1787656117","url":"https:\/\/thenomadartcollective.com\/collections\/max-serradifalco.oembed","provider":"Nomad Art Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
