His film training has made him interested in mise-en-scène, the gap between representation and truth, and the falsifications that occur more or less consciously in this space. "I Liberi?" is his latest work, editing that creates meaning, a manipulation that gives rise to an artificial intimacy. The tools of deception themselves are depicted in the mural in Corso San Gottardo, on the building of the Fotografia Pedroli shop, created during Biennale dell’immagine Bi12.― Giacomo Hug, curator <img width="1139" height="1767" width_o="1139" height_o="1767" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/28972eceabed6e0a910d4dda9d9766382f9d2c5e684145e9c68b7d49953f8018/I-Liberi--2OK.jpg" data-mid="215082648" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/28972eceabed6e0a910d4dda9d9766382f9d2c5e684145e9c68b7d49953f8018/I-Liberi--2OK.jpg" /><img width="5184" height="3456" width_o="5184" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/459ab33e8a0668243c6c62afb7fefad9af3ad51d0316d2643f7c82fd10fc2904/IMG_2316.jpg" data-mid="215082973" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/459ab33e8a0668243c6c62afb7fefad9af3ad51d0316d2643f7c82fd10fc2904/IMG_2316.jpg" /><img width="2572" height="1783" width_o="2572" height_o="1783" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ff11162f0e552693a0f5293cf554480016f878127a0ed097ff234e29b79ab673/02.jpg" data-mid="215080883" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ff11162f0e552693a0f5293cf554480016f878127a0ed097ff234e29b79ab673/02.jpg" /> ↑ https://sir-taki.com/Boriska Fri, 19 Jul 2024 08:23:13 +0000 SIR TAKI https://sir-taki.com/Boriska x { line-height: 1.6em; } SIR TAKIvisual artist selected worksRoberto (II) Graziella Adam I Liberi?

This untitled series sees the iris as an origin point, thus stressing the importance of vision. Developing from a single image, the practice of Sir Taki makes here a shift. On the one hand, white space gains greater breadth and significance, functioning as a common ground between the image and its beholder. On the other, the two chromatic scales build narratives that move in time and space. <img width="1572" height="1210" width_o="1572" height_o="1210" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2aaf7f33d30ba710a1299219cae6210d59a646efccdf687e3a47deea1e92ca25/Andre-2.jpg" data-mid="109651309" border="0" alt="Sir Taki, Andre, 2020" data-caption="Sir Taki, Andre, 2020" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2aaf7f33d30ba710a1299219cae6210d59a646efccdf687e3a47deea1e92ca25/Andre-2.jpg" /> The recurrent eye suggests a different feeling in each collage. Addressing the collective through the individual, the repeated eye aims to talk about the human condition. Depending on the portion that the collage shows, the eye appears tired, impassive, or even suffering. This variety of feelings establishes a peculiar relationship with the viewer, for whom it is sometimes hard to look at the eye, and yet it is difficult to stop looking at it. <img width="1572" height="1210" width_o="1572" height_o="1210" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/39f2a388110230446c6a9570b99b1dec7464ee68f1d24348fc29918aca01d9f3/Davide-e-Lucia-2.jpg" data-mid="109651310" border="0" alt="Sir Taki, Davide e Lucia, 2020" data-caption="Sir Taki, Davide e Lucia, 2020" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/39f2a388110230446c6a9570b99b1dec7464ee68f1d24348fc29918aca01d9f3/Davide-e-Lucia-2.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1137" width_o="1920" height_o="1137" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/46726abc1fb85cb55f82eff13c3ce358e7a6fe2dc616a7a7fe6bb8b5c5c1191e/2.jpg" data-mid="109651870" border="0" alt="Sir Taki, The Procibus, 2020" data-caption="Sir Taki, The Procibus, 2020" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/46726abc1fb85cb55f82eff13c3ce358e7a6fe2dc616a7a7fe6bb8b5c5c1191e/2.jpg" /> <img width="3600" height="1200" width_o="3600" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a41d087fd72583a8ee1c3bfae399f3194e71dfc11ced6a0581abb255dea84dd6/01.jpg" data-mid="114489967" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a41d087fd72583a8ee1c3bfae399f3194e71dfc11ced6a0581abb255dea84dd6/01.jpg" /><img width="3600" height="1200" width_o="3600" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/33757742a05d4388ace9c5cfb15fb935676e96f0873413c53be47b3dad91392b/02.jpg" data-mid="114489968" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/33757742a05d4388ace9c5cfb15fb935676e96f0873413c53be47b3dad91392b/02.jpg" /><img width="3600" height="1200" width_o="3600" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2e926981aaaf2f20cb49177221f9584e7f5309a7a1c6d5b93bc45e715b5e6f6c/03.jpg" data-mid="114489970" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2e926981aaaf2f20cb49177221f9584e7f5309a7a1c6d5b93bc45e715b5e6f6c/03.jpg" /> ↑ https://sir-taki.com/Thanaporn Fri, 20 Mar 2020 09:22:33 +0000 SIR TAKI https://sir-taki.com/Thanaporn x { line-height: 1.6em; } SIR TAKIvisual artist selected worksRoberto (II) Graziella Adam I Liberi?
