INTERPRETING THE SCOOTER THAT CHANGED THE WORLD OF THE TWO-WHEELER
SNAPS OF A LEGEND
VESPA
FRAGMENTS & VISIONS
PAOLO PORCU RODRIGUEZ PRESENTS A NEW WAY OF LOOKING AT THE VESPA IN NAKHON SI THAMMARAT (THAILAND)
AT 60’S BAR FROM 2 SEPTEMBER TO 25 SEPTEMBER.
FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS THE ARTIST, ITALIAN, HAS BEEN LIVING IN THE CITY OF NAKHON SI THAMMARAT, WHERE HE HAS
BEEN DEVELOPING WORKS BASED ON THE DECOMPOSITION OF PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES.
AFTER HAVING NOTICED, DURING HIS TRAVELS IN THAILAND, THE LARGE NUMBER OF OLD-MODEL VESPAS,
AND ALSO OWING TO A PERSONAL CONNECTION HE HAS WITH THE VESPA (BOTH HAVING BEEN BORN IN THE SAME REGION OF ITALY, TUSCANY),
HE DECIDED TO MAKE THE VESPA THE SUBJECT OF HIS PHOTOGRAPHS.
THE CHOICE OF LOCATION:
1. TO CREATE AN ATTRACTION IN AN AREA THAT HAS VERY FEW EXTERNAL CULTURAL EVENTS.
2. SIXTY’S BAR IS RUN BY VESPA-LOVERS, AND THEY HAVE MADE IT THE HEART OF THE PLACE.
STYLE 1960’S, ESSENTIAL,
THE PERFECT SPACE FOR SMALL EXPOSITIONS.
