These two views of Naples well explain the expressive approach that characterizes Vincenzo Castella's vision. The outdoor shot is all played out on perspective planes: the first, that of the terrace surrounded by a wall, brings us closer to the statue that stands almost in the void and reminds us of the rock that emerges from the sea caressed by the froth of the waves crashing against it. It is Castella himself who reminds us that panoramas of this kind do not correspond to the movements of the eye because visions like his must be lucidly aseptic. The second photograph presented here is also indicative of another aspect dear to the photographer: the lighting. This enriches the subject-in this case, a simple wall from which three framed images hang awkwardly exposed - not because it is illuminated, but because it is observed from a new angle.
