PEDRO PERDOMO - ANIMA DI NAPOLI

In Anima di Napoli, Pedro Perdomo, an artist originally from Tenerife, pays a poetic and deeply symbolic tribute to the city of Naples, interpreting its essence through two primordial elements: water and the moon. The work does not describe the city directly, but evokes its most intimate and archaic spirit, linked to myth, femininity, and suspended time.
The scene takes place within a classic, solemn, and silent architectural space, transformed into a pool of dark, reflective water. A female figure emerges and floats on the surface, in a state of abandonment and absolute stillness. The body is not a narrative protagonist, but a symbolic vehicle: it becomes soul, liquid presence, embodied memory.
Moonlight filters from above, reflecting on the water and creating a suspended, almost ritualistic atmosphere. The moon, invisible but perceptible, governs the rhythm of the work as a silent force, recalling the profound relationship between Naples, the sea, and the eternal cycle of death and rebirth. Water, an element of origin and dissolution, welcomes the figure in a gesture of protection and transformation.
Within The Unseen, Anima di Napoli takes the form of an inner vision: what cannot be seen of the city, but which has always sustained it. Perdomo, as an outside observer, returns a respectful and intense image, capable of capturing Naples not as a geographical location, but as an emotional and spiritual entity.
The plate printing enhances the depth of the blacks, the softness of the reflections, and the luminous quality of the image, giving the work an elegant and contemplative physical presence.
A work of great delicacy and evocative power, ideal for collectors who appreciate conceptual photography that intertwines myth, identity, and emotional landscape, transforming homage into a timeless visual experience.
