Clemente: photographs
Clemente takes his early photographs with a Polaroid, inspired by his attendance of Alighiero Boetti’s studio in Rome. His formally eclectic poetic is aimed at the creation of an imaginary space (just think of the squareness of the words or the embroideries of the maps traced within a rectangular border). Between 1974 and 1979 Clemente identifies this space with the lenses of his camera, capable of transforming even the most mundane reality, as shown by the two ornamental ceiling stuccoes (or rosettes) which in Untitled of 1974 take the semblance of nipples. For Clemente the camera is a congenial instrument to go beyond the limits of a merely subjective reality. His quest for a “magic territory” is also inspired by the performances of Jannis Kounellis, Eliseo Mattiacci, Pino Pascali and Luca Patella featured in the film SKMP2, produced in 1968 by the gallery manager from Rome Fabio Sangentini. Clemente uses this inspiration to take his early photographs, in which, using the framing process, he sets his own image boundaries and develops the quest for a “non-place” - an ideal place, nonexistent in reality yet plausible, which in the 9 polaroids of Untitled 1974 is made up of space and light, shadows and depths that appear unexpectedly in spite of the Euclidean simplicity of those geometrical forms. Individually framed by a white border, they portray intimate though anonymous settings, while the paratactic arrangement of similar subjects shows a personal adaptation of the conceptual lesson by Bernd & Ila Becher. In the four photographs of Untitled 1974 instead he suggests the idea of a movement in space of a fan along an unbroken rope, or of a movement in time, with the vertical sequence in which in 1979 for the first time he depicts himself.
