Rooms for voices

In his photographic project Luca Sironi represents the halls of the Municipal City Council, rooms created to host words, when they are emptied of their function.

Rooms for voices
Luca Sironi’s project Room for voices consists of 25 photographs that represent the halls of the Municipal City Council of different towns located in the Province of Milano, Italy.
These rooms are created and maintained for the sole purpose of hosting, for one or two days each month, the City Councils, therefore people and words.

Those words can be inspired by passion and virtue, but also by vanity, anger, hypocrisy, convenience. A concentrate of what is human. In the Council room the fate of a number of important issues, that directly affect the daily lives of all citizens, are decided. These rooms, when not subject to the pressure of voices and words seem to breathe a sigh of relief.

Relieved by the event, those rooms can be emptied of their function, and quietly and calmly ceasing to be just tools and recovering their identity as objects. Nevertheless, in this condition, it is as if each of these rooms could hold the echo of all the words that have inhabited over the years. And it's like all those voices did not ever really leave.

 

Through his photography Luca Sironi (Milano, 1973) tries to show that images can hide a lot, maybe memories, maybe a different point of view on something people usually find insignificant or not photographically relevant. He also works as a filmmaker, and teaches Theory and Technique of Film Language and History of Cinema.
