The work of Guido Bagini seems to contain the elements of a subliminal message, almost a rebus encoded in the format of a rectangular monitor or a computer screen.
The secret life of plants
Massimo Carasi presents in Milan the exhibition “The secret life of plants” with the works of Guido Bagini, that juxtapose architectural structures with skinny botanical elements.

This message is issued by the juxtaposition of images of architectural structures, with views of pools and design elements mixed with skinny botanical elements, mostly added as settings, like rendering design projects.
The vegetation, not decisive element above, seems to be, in this new phase, an important detail to which the artist seems to devote a renewed interest.
The scenes depicted by Guido Bagini imply the presence of a "private eye" who attends a still image containing special incongruous. We are spectators of these compositions inspired by a secret life, or someone is watching us through them?
The artist in fact breaks the image into portions which further complicate the unitary perception of the subject, blurring the thresholds between a situation in which it does not appear to human being or animal, and the limit beyond which, predictably, the reality is ordered and completed.
To further emphasize the feeling of suspension in time and fogging of overlapping realities, Guido Bagini uses besides the usual materials (cardboard glued on Dibond) tablets of reflective zinc etched with acid.
