Yogurt in the Sky 68 is a print from the homonymous series. The image has been created digitally and then printed on high quality fine art paper.
The Yogurt Culture series was inspired by a humorous expression among the inhabitants of a secluded place in the state of New York, which says: ""If you want culture, you have to buy yogurt"". This joke, mentioned by Louise Pirotta, an artist from the USA, became an occasion for a small competition between colleagues living in different places around the world.
Subsequently, I have developed further the subject with new imagery.
However, aside from the funny beginning, the exhibition is about all those associations, the symbol of which is milk as primordial nutrient and in particular the milk that has been changed by microorganisms: fermentation and transformation, maturation, storage, nutrition, thirst / hunger, feeding new energy - archetypal states that are part of the dynamics of life. In the works the yogurt is placed in the abstract spaces of heaven or nothingness and is freed from any concreteness, which gives it the cosmic dimensions characteristic of myths.
* The series is presented in a virtual exhibition on a special website: https://yogurtculture.weebly.com/
