We are pleased to present the first solo exhibition in Berlin of Italian artist Pietro Celesia. The exhibition, consisting of photography, video and sound installation by live musicians, represents a selection of Celesia’s artistic spectrum.
 
 
   Based on an inspirational subway tour from legendary New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport to Wall Street, Pietro Celesia began exploring the suburbs along subway line J. The result of capturing the city on infrared film shows the city as in a dreamlike reality – a strong imagery rotating between spaces, energies and rhythms. While Miles Davis´ music was accompanying his moves along the J line, Celesia felt as he was being on a journey through time as well as stuck in a vibrant present of a melting pot; its streets and tunes linked the present and the past with the architecture and visions of the American dream, immortalized by photographers and avant-garde filmmakers a long time ago.
 
 
   For the show at WHITECONCEPTS gallery Pietro‘s photographs are additioned by a soundtrack. The J Line music, created by the young German jazz musician Florian Menzel reflects on, mirrors and echoes, the daydream-feel of the pictures. Menzel, usually in the band The Major Minors - which won the German Film Prize (Deutscher Filmpreis) for the soundtrack of German blockbuster “Oh Boy” in 2013 - will be performing The J Line soundtrack with Igor Spallati, live at the opening night.
 
 
  Celesia sees architecture as a narration of society and The J line reflects on a city of immediacy, and of downright business, but also on a space of urban intimacy, where one can feel at ease, free of fear or tensions.
Within the different media shown in this exhibition The J line manifests ideas of inter-connection, coexistence and interdependence, Pietro describes his project as: ”The whole, however, can only exist because of all the parts.”
