Through\u00a0<em>The Absence<\/em>, our gaze is subtly guided\u2014if not compelled\u2014to confront this hidden reality: the chair becomes a silent witness to individuals on society\u2019s margins, driven by illegality and clandestinity, persons lacking any form of protection.<br \/>\nWith his intimate and attentive perspective, Attilio Solzi documents these realities and their inhabitants. A silent sequence unfolds that profoundly disturbs and moves the viewer.<\/p>\n<p>Attilio Solzi (Soresina, 1962), is an Italian artist whose practice is focused on photography and on the different representations of the body, preferring a grotesque and playful gaze. Solzi uses monstly the book form for the realization of his projects: between 2022 and 2016 he publishes with many publishing houses like 89 books, Everyedition, Salt n Pepper, Paranoia, Studio Bibliografico L\u2019Argentario, Samopal Books, Les Crocs Electrique, Void.
