Stations and harbors are also border places; places
of neglects and returns, of arrivals and departures.
Often what happens all around is deleted in a background that seems
of no importance, almost disregarded. Nevertheless this
background, made by crossings and passages where the life goes
on, exists, and it exists on seeing faces of thousand
travellers, in the outlines of their fast shadows, in the
daily gestures of which in those places works or must pass through
going to job.
The task of photography by Bruno Ruffo, “Arrivals and Departures”
plans to appropriate again this background giving it back to the care
of a slower vision that intentionally leaves a sign through long
exposures.
The gestures fluency, the hurrying footsteps, the movements
dilutes themselves in the “moved” pictures so that, at last,
the sight can pass through and get what the speed, the absent
mindedness, the consuetude left back. The lens of camera
waits that, in these border places of our everyday life,
the fragments of life, lived in embarking, on piers,
under train shelter, near the rails, at the cafe desks in the
stations, become alive. Meanwhile, the whole leftover
goes round as always, between arrivals and departures.
