Garage. Sometimes You Can See Much More (2011). The video explores the transition from darkness to light: from a closed garage that lets streaks of light filter through, the deep blue of the ocean opens up. The transformation is marked by the squeak of the shutter opening, which precedes the vision of light and ecstasy. A tribute to Edward Hopper’s Room by the Sea, it reflects on light, space, and perception. The senses are first sharpened in darkness, then overwhelmed by the dazzling light of an open space.

Giovanni Ozzola | Born in 1982 in Florence, he lives and works in the Canary Islands. Through the use of photography, video, and traditional media, he seeks a representation of the infinite and exploration, demonstrating a deep sensitivity to the phenomenon of light and its physical characteristics. He exhibits internationally and has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the “Premio Terna” (2008), the “Talent Prize” (2010), and the “Premio Cairo” (2011).
