Summary/Abstract: This approach seeks to link the particularities of Macedonski’s descriptions to those of Mannerism. Always poetic and carefully processed, the description often becomes a diary of the senses in Macedonski’s writing, turning the most mundane moments or images into an event. Macedonski’s ingenuity is characterized by its cinematic perspective, technique of detail, contradictory structures, preciousness or artificiality. Macedonski gives dynamism to lifeless spaces, almost an existence of its own, misunderstood and mysterious whose palpitations only he can feel, while natural spaces are filled with artificiality, by association with precious stones and metals, polishing them as perfect, unalterable images, prototypes of an ideal world. Macedonski’s sensibility vibrates with everything that singularizes and catches the eye, refusing the exact reality in favour of a poetic structure that cultivates a scenic, aestheticizing, dual, extremely refined vision.
