  • Inner Garden unveils a fresh perspective on reality at La Galleria

    Thanks to Ilze-Mari Van Zyl for publishing this article on www.capetownetc.com La Galleria’s latest exhibition offers a unique lens into the world through the eyes of McGregor resident Dani. Going beyond conventional norms, Dani skillfully manipulates exposures and embraces unconventional development processes, resulting in a refreshing perspective on reality in his latest exhibition, Inner Garden. What sparked Dani's photographic journey was the local poetry festival, and now, McGregor's gardens serve as his canvas. Diverging from traditional landscape photography, Dani employs experimental techniques both in the field and the digital darkroom. The resulting images gracefully border the realms of representation and abstraction. Nature retains its essence yet appears subtly distorted, while forms are suggested but remain charmingly indistinct. ‘These final artworks represent a willingness to experiment, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary, and unveiling new visions of reality,’ says Dani. Born and raised in Italy, Dani moved to South Africa in 2011 to leave the fast-paced European lifestyle and business world behind. Mcgregor’s tranquil setting allowed his passion for photography, once a pastime, to organically evolve into something deeper. On show every Saturday and Sunday from 10:30 to 2:30 pm | Weekdays by appointment Location: La Galleria, 7 Bree Street, Mcgregor View the collection online at: https://www.danisphotos.com/inner-garden

  • La Galleria is proud to present ‘INNER-GARDEN’

    Photographs at the Edge of Reality and Imagination Dani presents his latest collection of images at this innovative exhibition. Captured within the verdant gardens of McGregor, these photographs push the boundaries of what the camera lens can see. Venturing beyond traditional landscape photography, Dani explored experimental techniques in both the field and the digital darkroom. By manipulating exposures, and embracing an unorthodox developing process, He has created images that straddle the line between representation and abstraction. Nature is visible yet distorted, forms are suggested yet indistinct. Walking through these gardens, Dani saw not just beauty but possibility. Each flower, tree, and shimmering reflection presented an opportunity to challenge convention and see the world anew. These final artworks are the tangible results of a willingness to experiment, to transform the mundane into the extraordinary, and to reveal new visions of reality. On show from 5 pm on Friday 01 Dec 2023 at La Galleria in Mcgregor. View the collection online at: https://www.danisphotos.com/inner-garden
