Trebeski - Natoli

Via Crucis
Unconsciousness is activated through various routes, one of which is an external stimulus. This, as a human component escapes from the intellectual sphere, but decisively influences the person’s actions.
In front of the Stations of Alberto Trebeschi’s Via Crucis I do not remain indifferent since the suffering of Christ is a violent stimulus which turns on the personal computer of unconsciousness. Each image is non finite and tends to integrate psychologically the message. This creates a welding between the sufferance of Christ and that of man. The colours play between strong and weaker tones and concur with illuminating the message that the artist offers, with infinite space for meditation. Doubt becomes the spring which saturates the intellect and will towards concrete conclusions.
Each Station is an icon (the negative of the photograph), an internal torment, an restlessness which leads to a purification of the spirit. Throughout the whole work, Christ is the dominant subject, the individual represented in turn is just background. The commitment to catch the detail of the suffering which emerges sometimes bursting out sometimes spread out in filigrees, leads to a profound concentration between intellect and emotion, and delivers an educational experience both unique and personal (hic et nunc); using the words of St. Paul: Fulfil in me Christ’s suffering. If Wagner’s music is defined as the music of unconsciousness then the Via Crucis of Alberto Trebeschi is the Via Crucis of unconsciousness.
