Mario Commone is a member of the La Spezia collective Il Gabbiano. His work "leaves" is a computer manipulated photograph of the image left by fallen leaves on a pedestrian crossway, when the white stripes are spray-painted on the asphalt. A trace, at the end of the leaves existence, in the urban landscape.
