Professional photographer and copy writer Daniele Duca was born in Ancona in 1967. This book presents a series of his photographs: a chance journey around objects which are used habitually in everyday life, but which are also endowed with a surplus of esthetic significance. Duca's photography sublimates these objects of common use, freeing them from the banality of the observed. A retrieval of gestalt of the object and of its original and symbolic functions, accentuated by the epos of the author, who is seeking the essential enchantment therein, removes the shallow frills of the anonymous in favor of design and function. Duca takes the objects out of their original context and achieves the translation of meaning, enlarged by the spatial arrangement. In particular, Duca's position and shooting angle contribute to a kind of animation of the inanimate.
