Look at the photo... made with old style camera has this nice sfumato, that gives feeling of late 19th century...
Only people are so modern...

Tecnical images seam already so natural for us that we don't notice a wonderful thing: images defines our imagination, the way that we perceive the past represented on the photos.

from the series "how the art used to be exhibited"
When I was in the PGC my dear Carley made her seminar on the significance of the way that sculpture is exhibited and perceived by the public, on its impact on the sense of the work.
With the mass tourism and a huge popularity of the most important museums the question "how the art used to exhibited" can be a nice guide for the biggest world collections: altar in front of Mona Lisa in Louvre (and two paintings of Titian next to it, that are totally "invisible" for the public), " Nike of Samothrace" on the top of Daru staircase in the same museum, guides for the National Gallery with signs how to find the "Sunflowers" by Van Gogh end so on...
The point is that almost every art (especially sculpture) is site specific, made for a specific space and with an aim. Art in the museum lives his life after life.

grey scale
You've got to know something... I'm not a photographer and, what's more, I'm not an artist at all... that's for sure. If I would be an artist-photographer I would probably try to "catch on the photos the lyrical moments of every day life" and I would take artistic pictures of a frozen chicken on the radiator... [I'm not kidding... It's a quotation from a jury's verdict on a photo contest I took part in. The chicken took the first prize...]
What I do it's just wondering with a camera trough different places, trying to look at the world in a different way... just to not get mad.
Prendere il neccesario distacco...
For you: a cat [not a chicken]... on a stair ... [not on a radiator]...
It's not art, it's just a picture. Enjoy if you want.
