Valsecchi alternates between the near and far, between precise figuration and poetic abstraction. Devoid of humn presence, his large-format photographs often take unexpected vantage points, which initially destabilize our perception, then engage with the imagery. Valsecchi, while within the German tradition of the industrial landscape, has found his own register, towards the monochrome with a soft palette and nuanced chromatic scale. His approach evokes the pictorial grandeur of Abstract Expressionism.--Publisher.
