Full of stories

Photography by Alla Chiara Luzzitelli.

Alla Chiara is Russian-born photographer who lives in Turin. She grew up in an orphanage in Lipetsk, an industrial city 400 km from Moscow.

Now she is studying and developing photography. Taking self-portraits for her is like a way of growing and understanding herself, that’s why it is so important in her photography.

“My mind is full of stories, full of memories, full of lovers. I’ll look over my story to let people to tell their stories.”

Fashion Weeks SS 2017

Illustration by Anita Ronga

The fashion weeks SS2017 are almost over.We have been watching shows, photos, details of make-up, bloggers and editors all dressed up; we were reading reviews by Tim Blanks and the huge article about Italian fashion by Angelo Flaccavento – and the bloggers’ reply to that.

Today we are showing Anita Ronga’s illustrations about each of the recent fashion weeks – Paris, Milan, London and New York.


Perfect not perfect

Photography by Luisa Terminiello.

“My work is often based on the search of the single (perfect but not perfect) picture. There are photographs to imagine, they are pills for sick of imagination. They will never be perfect as well as every medicine has its contraindications”.


Unbearable lightness of being

Photography by Valeria Lazareva.

Valeria Lazareva is a 32 year old architect, born in Odessa, Ukraine. Thankfully she does not only construct houses in Odessa and Moscow, but also makes amazingly touching and sensitive photographs. She is one of those incredible photographers who, for example, can shoot a wedding without any boring clichés – only clean emotions and soft charm of the film camera.

She is well-known in her motherland, Ukraine, and sister Russia – shooting for Vogue UA, Interview, bunch of Ukrainian designers – and still bringing amazing pictures from her travels all over the world. Now we are glad to show her works to Italian and international viewers.


Kinesis

Photo project by Pietro Fanelli.

Kinesis
noun
1. (biology) the nondirectional movement of an organism or cell in response to a stimulus, the rate of movement being dependent on the strength of the stimulus.

The idea of the project comes from an interest in study of human anatomy, using photographic tools to record and catalog it in details and in complex. The representation of the anatomical figures here does not retain a classical perspective, but almost deconstructed, as in Cubist painting. The main inspiration comes from art works of Cubists, Anton Giulio Bragaglia’s photography, Edward Muybridge and Jules Marey’s chronophotography.

The book of pictures, in conclusion, is a synthesis of all these elements applied to a study of human anatomy. In the end all the individual parts make up the body, but there will always be a mutation, a movement, merging multiple moments and perspectives that will make the image initially alienating and difficult to read.
