"Anatomy, Persona, and the Moment: 70‘s Experimental Photographs of Luigi Di Sarro" Exhibition
Baxter Street/ the Camera Club of NY
This event has ended.
Curated By Giovanna Pennacchi & Allen Frame.
CCNY and the Centro Luigi Di Sarro in Rome are proud to bring to New York for the first time the 1970‘s experimental photographs of Luigi Di Sarro, an Italian artist who died in 1979 at the age of 37 and is now being rediscovered. In this exhibition of his photographs, Anatomy, Persona, and the Moment, Di Sarro‘s exploration of time, space, motion, and the body is conveyed with sensual theatricality. Many of these photographs are self–portraits, including luscious Cibachrome color prints, a process that has now become almost obsolete. Di Sarro himself makes a striking model, as do his various girlfriends. Like Eadweard Muybridge, he depicts an everyday activity like walking as a fragmented multiple–exposure performance of his nude figure crossing the room, bringing a sense of magic to the mundane. In other images he ”writes“ with light, creating through long exposures a frenzied energy field of blinding illumination. His luminous world is one of instability, hypothesis, and desire.
