Family
Guiseppe Palmisano

Iosonopipo

“By means of staged photography, the human body and everyday space, Giuseppe’s photographs are transformed into an atmosphere of humor and mystery, a theatrical effect of absurdity and joyous color, and even with an implication of eeriness and delusion. Palmisano’s work contains signs of transcendence and metaphor amongst everyday realistic plight. People appear to be able to escape, or hide from the pressure of the real world by entering the image of the artist’s imagination.”

She Could Have Been A Cowboy by Anja Niemi

She Could Have Been A Cowboy
By Anja Niemi

In her latest series, She Could Have Been A Cowboy, Anja Niemi continues her investigations of the self. This time she turns the lens to a life lived under the constraints of conformity. Every day her fictional character finds herself trapped in the same pink dress, but what she really wants is to be a cowboy, dressed in fringe and leather, riding horses in the Wild West. Through this series of photographs with multiple layers and possible interpretations, Niemi delivers her most political work to date.

“The story is not really about being a cowboy. It’s about wanting to be another.” Anja Niemi

Niemi continues to work alone, photographing, staging and acting out the characters in all of her images.

The book is an edition of 200 and contains a fold-out map and poster as well as a poem by Lena Niemi, sister of Anja.

Per Color by Marco Ugolini

6 January 2019 in Photography Comment

Per Color

Per Color by Marco Ugolini is a series of photographs displaying supermarket products divided per color.

“I see the supermarket space as a space of manipulation. The attempt, in this action, is to subvert this structure of power. The pictures have been taken in collaboration with Photographer Pedro Motta, in a supermarket in the same neighbourhood of the art center. None of the products have been bought after the shooting.”
