representations of places in which the common denominator is the presence of the place itself, where the observing subject is related with the observed object making to acquire as much subjectivity. The path is a path of both lasted for years, decades, in which John Margolies is small compared with the reality of the native American culture that is gradually disappearing, while George Tatge wanted to be a ' Italy unknown to many, made up of subtle spaces. It is the absence of man in their work the common denominator between the two shows, although the first is the architecture itself is shooting star, while the second is precisely the presence natural main actors of these scenes without time. Both is as if they would stop the moment, creating blocks representing a single corpus that is disappearing as more and more. Margolies based his research on " forms " now lost, perhaps for the last time in the middle of their being, with clean streets, clear skies and no people in the background. Tatge instead appropriates the "black and white " to make the viewer participates in a 'hidden but real intimacy, which is the serenity of the catalyst of attention. Although their language is different, the end he wants to be the same, that of the rediscovery through a perceptive reading of not more rigid and schematic of what is part of our contexts, leading the viewer to never have to look without seeing and hearing without listening .
