Dario Murri, Looking to the future neon, chromaluxe on aluminium, 120x80 cm

This project by Darrio Murri, entitled "Looking to the future bw" is part of the "AFTER GLORY" series, made with a chromalu fotografica digital photo printing technique on aluminum.

In this version of the work the use of neon light makes it even more charged with emotional drama, exacerbating the contrast between the fake smiles of the abandoned bambole.

The work is inserted within an analysis (in a POP key) regarding the concept of the ephemeral, focusing in particular on toys as an object of consumption: first desired and loved, then forgotten and abandoned. They are the perfect example of the consumer society. A fate, that of toys/consumer goods, which does not escape even the most popular of dolls, which nevertheless always sports, even in the worst conditions, its best smile. A photographic collection in which the artist tried to capture the condition of these objects, inanimate but somehow alive, caught in almost "human" attitudes (as they are, without being posed), eager to return to the glory of the past.
