ANTI was born during the last year of education in 2019.
Middle Ages: this is where the project originates and develops by analysing concepts such as the marvellous, ugliness as opposed to beauty, and last and most relevantly, medieval mythological monsters.
Umberto Eco.
The uncanny was another interesting term because it is more stimulating than the common idea of frightening and disturbing with which the concept of the monstrous is associated. It has also been analysed how a non-conforming body is defined as grotesque and who were the representatives of such bodies that completely overturned the conceptions of the 1980s and 1990s.
The project was born from the idea of something frightening, but in its development it takes on a more ironic dimension, playing down the concept of the starting monster, through shapes, fabrics, and above all colours.
A Camp Fairytale Nightmare.
The idea of this photographic project was based on the same themes of the research that was made during the development of the collection.
Among an everyday conventional setting filled with common people, the monsters were dropped, creating people's reactions and forcing them to have visual contact with an unconventional Venetian carnival.
Venice was the perfect setting for them since they were born and developed there, trying to shoot a different side of the city, taking the distance from the usual touristic setting and capturing an ironic and more domestic side.
