Still Life? - PBF04 / Teresa Giannico
15 November to 21 December 2019
Teresa Giannico takes photographs of small dioramas that she creates to play with the scales. With the aim to instill doubt about the documentary value of photography and to reveal the machine of representation, she reproduces realities, existing or not.
In her series Ricerca 8, Teresa Giannico develops her interest in interiors and sculptural work through photography. These images start from a drawing where she sketches sceneries and set objects chosen from her extensive archive. The elements are not precisely connected, but respond to the needs of her composition.
After completing the sketch, she transfers it to a three-dimensional cardboard diorama with printed surfaces and textures. The last of all these steps is to photograph the diorama. The resulting picture is the only remain of her work.
