THE ARTWORK
In this work from Ugo La Pietra’s I gradi della libertà series, metal closures and city surfaces form a composition of lines, textures and frames. The photograph brings functional elements close, revealing their visual weight and the way they organise access to space.
The 1975 offset print on glossy paper invites a view of the urban landscape through details. Regularity and irregularity coexist within the same fragment: the structure imposes an order, while marks and differences complicate its reading. The title opens a reflection on boundaries, passage and individual freedom.
