you would never know it was there
apart from the little box of tiny, grey clay gnomes sitting outside the door in a cobblestone alleyway to dry....
Alfredo's world is about 4 shoulder spans wide
packed with all the local characters of fable and folklore.
Tiny mediaeval folk made of terracotta clay , they are absolutely beautiful even before they are painted ... Alfredo puts on his selotaped glasses and puts a board over his knees and gets to work on a new set of gnomes, while I prowl around in circles with my tripod. Apart from an elevator in Milan this is one of the most confined spaces I have ever shot in ...
inspired by Breugel and Bosch, Alfredo's tiny characters come to life under his hands ...I wish I had made a little movie ...
this afternoon back to the mosquito swamps ... a new strange Olive grove full of distorted old professors and philosophers has been found ... quite by accident
