Paolo Regis: Human Power

A point, a line, a fragment, an outline, a form, a shape, a face, a spirit, a presence, a surface, a space, a territory, an event, a story. A set, a crowd. This is the vision of photographer Paolo Regis (1979) which presents the photographic project “Human Power”. What is the unit of measure of this multitude? And the question from which the visual pathway,

Excerpt from The cult of manipulation: photography at the fringes of reality.

In an unusual 15th century Renaissance painting titled The Healing of Deacon Justinian by Fra Angelico, a miraculous tale of transformation is told. Two saints, Cosmas and Damian, take the leg of a recently deceased Ethiopian man and sew it to the sleeping Deacon, whose own diseased leg has been amputated. For decades,

David Spriggs: Vision 3d

09.-Spriggs-2010-STRATACHROME

“I found that painting had certain qualities that allowed me to represent certain concepts, and sculpture allowed others, yet each method had their own inherent limitations. I wanted to find a way that I could paint in the space between the two and three dimensions in order to bring new ideas and ways of seeing. It lead me to develop a new type of

“When I started making sculpture, I realized that what made it different from any other genre was that it exists in real space. It doesn’t exist in representations; it actually breathes the same air we breathe. It potentially has the same energy as a person. I wanted to make intensely powerful objects that were able to generate energy. So I started making severed werewolf

AUDIO DUST: Thoughts between man and technology.

Machines and sound equipments for music performance of different kinds, “living” from their “power on”,static, recognizable in their operation, missing that sort of unpredictable that determines a “living being”; calculators to ask or submit protocols, getting in return a behavior, an effect, a sound.

Claudine Dupeyron: Pieces of Light

détails

The artist’s hand plays with nature’s creatures in strange and unexpected ways, rearranges and recomposes them harmoniously, transforming their original essence. With this creative and imaginative liberty, elements are associated according to their colours, light or brightness, energy and strength, and acquire a new life and identity. Therefore, pieces of wood washed ashore by the tide can be associated with minerals from distant caves; white

Mirko Canesi: Fall and Rising, Fall and Rising, Fall and Rising…

In my research I try to tackle a broad reflection focused on nature: how it can become part of the artistic process and its emotional or conceptual content. Specifically, it is my intention to make clear the event of an act of violence, as it may be exercised by man over another “living being”. The plants, which by their nature are passive, they lend
