THE ART OF SURREAL FASHION

Thursday, October 23, 2014

Taken from the Autumn/Winter issue of Dazed & Confused:

Strange and ambiguous to its core, it bends normality in [...]

MAY THE CIRCLE REMAIN UNBROKEN

Thursday, August 14, 2014

With Instagram and virtually every other photographer shooting from the hip these days, it’s easy to forget that 20 years ago, that kind of snapshot photography was entirely unacceptable in a commercial context. With pioneers in casual snaps for high end fashion such as Juergen Teller, Wolfgang Tillmans and Terry Richardson having ascended to super [...]

FRUITS COLORS AND FACES

Monday, October 21, 2013

As it is mentioned in Paper Journal, the images created in Lorenzo Vitturi’s photobook A Dalston Anatomy is reminiscent of Fischli/Weiss‘ sculptures − one may recall, especially, the selection in Venice Biennale 2013 − and Guiseppe Arcimboldo’s portraits depicted with fruits and vegetables. The vigorous use of colours in Vitturi’s works is again tempting. Uncanniness of [...]
