CHEMA MADOZ
Le Un ago da cucito conficcato nei solchi di un’impronta digitale, una tenda fatta di capelli biondi, un castello di carte imprigionato in un’impalcatura, un orecchio avvolto da una corona di spine, un’ascia fasciata da bende… L’ultima serie di fotografie in bianco e nero dell’artista spagnolo non nega l’eredità del conte de Lautréamont e il […]

CHEMA MADOZ
Le Creada en 1960 en París, por iniciativa de Raymond Queneau, OuLiPo (Ouvroir de littérature potentielle) se propuso descubrir nuevas potencialidades del lenguaje y modernizarlo a través de juegos de escritura.

CHEMA MADOZ
Aiguille à coudre coincée dans les sillons d’une empreinte digitale, rideau formé d’une blonde chevelure, château de cartes emprisonné dans des échafaudages, oreille nimbée d’une couronne d’épines, hache emmaillotée dans des bandages… La dernière série de photographies en noir et blanc de l’artiste espagnol ne renie pas l’héritage du comte de Lautréamont et de son […]

Giochi di genere e sguardi da Pixy
Nell’opera di Pixy Liao, gli attitudini e le interazioni ricordano le tracce di un gioco di ruolo erotico dall’umorismo pungente. Anche perché la messa in scena, i colori decisi e l’apparente corda dello scatto fotografico evocano un dialogo tra immagini professionali e amatoriali, anche perché i ruoli in questione contraddicono le rappresentazioni a cui siamo […]
uegos de género y miradas de Pixy Liao
En la obra de Pixy Liao, las actitudes e interacciones se asemejan a los trazos de un juego de rol erótico con un irónico sentido del humor. En parte, porque la puesta en escena, los colores vivos y la aparente cuerda del disparador fotográfico evocan un diálogo entre las imágenes profesionales y las amateurs. En […]
