Descrizione
Itaca contiene le immagini del progetto “Prima di essere schiuma saremo indomabili onde”. Riflessione fotografica sulla dimensione acquatica e sulla percezione che abbiamo di essa.
Gustave Flaubert, Herman Melville, Cesare Pavese e Julian Barnes guidano, con una sorta di affiliazione letteraria, il percorso di ricerca dell’autrice.
Giulia Marchi was born in Rimini in 1976. In 2006 she approaches the use of the pinhole, discovering herself in this simple artifice and conceiving it as something magical. She builds by herself her own cameras, stealing souls from paper boxes and little wooden cases. For her shots, she uses analog source materials in black & white as well as Polaroid matrices; unpredictability of the result, purity of the imprecision, naked glance belonging to this technique give her back a sheer vision of reality, epitomized in projects such as Domum (presented at 54’ Venice Biennale) and Multiforms (translated to a limited edition artist’s book published by Danilo Montanari).
