The spent blood of all my stars - Devotions VIII 2007

"The spent blood of all my stars - Devotions VIII" (2007) by Gian Maria Tosatti is a poignant photograph that captures a sense of abandonment and emptiness. The image depicts a single chair in a bare, unfinished room, with scattered pieces of paper on the floor, seemingly remnants of some past activity. The chair, with its worn upholstery, suggests a space once occupied but now left desolate. The starkness of the setting and the fragmented objects contribute to a haunting atmosphere, inviting the viewer to ponder the absence and the stories that may lie behind this desolate scene. The work exemplifies Tosatti's penchant for capturing moments of stillness and decay, exploring themes of memory, loss, and the passage of time.
