Compensatoio
da Camera

Maurizio Barberis

Compensatoio da Camera is an art design creation that transforms an everyday action into an aesthetic experience, seamlessly merging elements from different styles and eras into a preciously crafted iconic object.
 
Compensatoio da Camera is a reflection on the heritage of the chamber thinker by photographer and architect Maurizio Barberis
The architect wrote about it:
 
“The ‘object becomes image, the image becomes object. The image compensates for the object and the object compensates for the image.
Nevertheless, we continue to experience a loss, a loss of value that asks to be compensated.
A void that asks to be filled.
 
Compensatoio da Camera indicates an action that is not there, an absence of thought, of form, which must be replaced by an object or a set of objects, whose symbolic value (memory) delays the feeling of loss.
To what does this loss allude, this absence that measures the gap between us and the world, from that universe of phenomena now no longer active in our consciousness?”
