These black-green leaves
now carry enough sun to
ignite white flowers.

Her sky brimmed with stars
of the five-pointed type, spells
against emptiness.

Arched Luca Renoldi

A city never
reaches silence, each promised
quiet soon broken.

Charcoal and Smoke Luca Renoldi

After fire’s spent
it leaves everything it touched
its blackest self.

Outside these shadows
the world is bright—the leaves dance
in their own fire.

As one of the first professional symphony orchestras ever Copenhagen Phil (Sjællands Symfoniorkester) did a flash mob at Copenhagen Central Station on May 2nd 2011 playing Ravel's Bolero. Conductor is Jesper Nordin.

Haikus on this post are a tribute to Joe Felso of Ruminations.

The Project
What this project aims to offer the viewer is the opportunity to see reality with new eyes, eyes  that "distort" what he sees, in an attempt to reveal what lies behind appearance, so that his altered state of mind may predispose him to look at metamorphosis. Through the game of decomposition and the multiplication of points of view, it highlights not only the availability of the mind to deformation, but also the lack of an absolute truth, (how this can prevail), to offset one’s own unique perspective: This is an important finding for understanding the meaning of the project (following the intent of Apuleius). The philosophical theme that accompanies the whole project is that of an eternal universe as a place of transformation, where "mutantur omnia, nihil interit" ie "nothing perishes but everything is transformed.
"

The Photographer

Luca Renoldi was born in Milan in 1958 and lives close to Monza, Not far from His beloved Milan. Due to His indomitable vitality and will to discover new horizons, he is often described as a twenty-year-old with thirty years of experience! For all his passions he dedicates 100% of his effort and vitality. Lover of football, a fan of FC Internazionale Milano, he is an active participant of the Inter Club Muratidentro supporters club. He has forever loved photographic art  taking pictures of whatever he finds interesting, nothing precluded,  fitting his perspectives to the mounted optics, rarely constructing his own photos, leaving the images as real as his eyes have captured. As  manager in a company that produces industrial laundry machines, he travels all around the world right along with his trustworthy Nikon. During his frequent travels, he always finds the time to dedicate himself to photography, which effectively combines with fractals or sometimes various experimental techniques.

Note on the Series

This is the Fifth installment of a series of photographs that make up this wonderful project. My thanks to Luca Renoldi for allowing me to post his phenomenal work on The Angels Wear Fins.

  11. The haiku on this post are marvelous and your work is truly a tribute to Joe felso Ruminations. My favorite here would be the first and the final one!!
    The structures form such a terrific backdrop for the dancers in perfect motion!! Great expressions of a fluid body, strength of architecture and the beauty of words!! Above all the excellent photography combining all the three in a single shot!!

    Noelle you are amazing!!

  12. dear one,

    friday was so long i deferred to this fresh morning to make my rounds. i started at the end and worked my way back. so here i am after a diverse haiku adventure.

    perhaps i saved yours for dessert for the beauty here is food for the soul!
    it is so interesting to experience others visions. the human body as sculpture woven into the gravity of earth. solid, yet as willing to bend with grace as the willows and speaking the to the same wisdom. you have a way noelle of collecting important stories and speaking them to us with the voice of compassion. lifting us up as gracefully as each dancer here.

    your are a great and wise story teller.
    can you feel us all gathered around?

  13. I think my comment was lost somewhere in the ether...

    basically was telling you that I am constantly delighted by the stories you gather here.x
