Event Description : "Storm of Light - All the deserts are my desert" a talk by Alfredo De Stéfano as part of 'Plastics Arts and Architecture'.

“Storm of Light - All the deserts are my desert” is a photographic, documentary and editorial project in which Alfredo De Stéfano has been working since 2008. The main objective is to intervene and photograph a selection of different deserts in the world, including the Tahar desert in Rajasthan, India, which he will be photographing in October 2014. Also, a film documentary will be shot during the trips, allowing to understand the creative process followed by the artist throughout the world, as well as the obstacles and difficulties encountered to reach the furthest regions of the world, things which are imperceptible when we admire the pristine images of De Stefano. De Stefano’s artistic eye and creativity will explore new images of the places he is intervening. The beautiful mind of an artist is able to transform and communicate essential values lying beneath the simple surface of the desert. Through the photographs of these landscapes, Alfredo expresses a particular way of understanding our planet’s evolution and allows us to think about our place in the world, about death and emptiness and many other fundamental questions of our existence and our relationship with our environment as well as to meditate on the beauty that surrounds us even in barren territories. This talk is scheduled after Alfredo de Stefano’s shoot in the Tahar desert. The artist will share the experiences of this trip and other shoots he has done around the world.
