Sguardo inverso

2015

A narrow vertical strip of a plaster cast's face — closed eye, nose and lips in raking light — with the rest of the head dissolving into white.

A grid of nine images, each a narrow vertical strip of a different plaster cast's face, all with closed eyes, against white.

The project Sguardo inverso, made in the Gipsoteca Giuseppe Graziosi, is part of the group exhibition Corrispondenze at the Palazzo dei Musei in Modena. It is the result of a collaboration between Fondazione Fotografia Modena and the Musei Civici di Modena. The exhibition is the outcome of an artistic research project, curated by the artist Mario Cresci and built on a reinterpretation of the art collections of the Musei Civici di Modena.
